3.3   Input Status Monitoring 

 

REF 

 
The REF LED turns on to indicate a valid composite signal has been detected on the 

REF IN

 

BNC.  It will remain off if no reference signal is installed.  If there exists a line format mismatch 
between the reference input and the composite input, the REF LED flashes.  To avoid this 
situation, make sure both the reference and source signals are 525 (60Hz) lines or 625 (50 Hz) 
lines. 
 

IN ERR 
 

The IN ERR (error) LED will turn on if no composite input signal is installed.  Also, if a standard is 
forced, for example, NTSC and the input signal detected is other than a NTSC signal, the IN ERR 
LED will indicate an error.  Make sure the source signal is properly connected to 

COMPOSITE IN

 

and verify for any source equipment errors. It is highly recommended to enable black & white 
input detection when working with monochrome signals.  Refer to section 3.5, Input Format 
Detection. 
 

 

3.4  Source Type Selection 

 

The ASD-231i accepts three different types of sources:  STUDIO, SATELLITE and VCR. 
Select STUDIO sosurce type when using high quality sources, SATELLITE for satellite sources, 
and VCR for unstable sources.  

 

Changes to the input modes can only be made when in normal mode.  Therefore, make sure you 
have left the menu.  Press the DOWN(-) push-button to scan through the available selections.  
The selected source type turns on the appropriate LED. 
 
N.B.:  There is no STUDIO option available during SECAM operation. 
 

 

3.5  Input Format Detection 

 
The ASD-231i supports two modes of format detection: automatic input format detection and 
forced input format selection. 
 

 

Automatic Format Detection 

During this mode of detection, the ASD-231i detects the type of input and automatically switches 
to that format by loading the decoder with the format’s parameters.  To enable automatic input 
detection follow these steps: 
 
1.  Press SELECT to enter the menu.  FRMT is displayed. 
2.  Press SELECT to enter the FRMT menu.  The current format is displayed. 
3.  To set automatic detection, press the UP(+) or DOWN(-) push-button until AUTO is 

displayed. 

4.  Press SELECT to store automatic input detection.  FRMT is displayed. 
5.  To enable automatic input detection and return to normal mode, press ESCAPE. 

 
NOTE:  During automatic input detection, if the input signal changes while you are 
attempting to change the value of a menu function, the ASD-231i exits from the menu, 
returns to normal and attempts to locate the correct format.  However, this feature is 
disabled only when the FRMT menu is being accessed.
