The new TVGuardian HD Model 501 is made for HDTV and Upconverting DVD Players. More information is available here.
Special Connections 480i Component Video Connection - Source (cable or satellite box) must be set to 480i. This may be labeled as 480i or it may just be labeled standard definition (AT&T U-verse).
- Connect a component (YPbPr) cable by connecting the Green (Y) from the source to TVGuardian's composite video (Yellow) Input 1 or Input 2, and the Blue (Pb) and Red (Pr) directly to the TV's Component input (not TVG).
- Connect a 2nd video cable (Green or Yellow) from TVGuardian's output to the TV's Green (Y) component input grouped with the Red and Blue from the previous step.
- Cross-CC Connection: This may not be needed. Some sources (DISH Network) do not output closed-captions on component in 480i. You may connect the composite (yellow) video output from the satellite/cable box to
Input 2 and select the INP1-CAP2 using the TVG button. INP1-CAP2 will read the CC on the composite video (yellow) of Input 2 to control the mute and profanity-free captions on input 1. Using this setting limits TVG to just one source.
HD Component Video Connection Workaround - See the TVGuardian HD Model 501 for the optimal HDTV experience.
- This workaround connection will mute the audio properly with TVGuardian SD, but the profanity-free closed-captions will not pop up during the mute.
- Connect a component video cable (YPbPr) directly from the source (HD cable/satellite box, HD Upconverting DVD Player, Blu-Ray Player, etc.) to your TV's component Input, bypassing TVG.
- Connect the source composite video (yellow) to TVGuardian's composite
input 1 or input 2. This will read the CC for muting.
- Connect the source audio (red/white) to TVGuardian's input 1 or input 2.
- Connect from TVGuardian's audio output (red/white) to the TV's audio input(red/white) or an audio receiver's audio input.
Digital Coaxial Audio Connections
- Digital Audio is cannot be mixed with analog stereo audio connections. If one
TVGuardian input uses it, the other input can only be used for digital audio, too. - Connect an audio cable (red or white) from the source coax digital output to TVGuardian's Right (red) Audio for Input 1(L) or Input 2 (H).
- Connect an audio cable (red or white) from TVGuardian's Right (red) Audio
output (D) to your TV or Audio Receiver's coaxial digital audio input.
