Down Conversion – We have published the features of this product as an HDTV
UpConverter but in fact the device can function as a Down Converter as well as an
UpConverter. This means that if you are receiving a 1080i HD signal from your HDTV
tuner or receiver, you can down convert to 720p or to a native resolution (see above)
that matches the fixed pixel resolution of your display device.
High Definition Input – We have published the capability to accepting standard
definition input and upconverting the video signal to HDTV resolutions. We are happy
to advise that the HDTV UpConverter can accept HDTV signals from terrestrial set top
box tuners, HD satellite receivers and HDTV Digital Cable boxes through any of the
three (3) Component video inputs. The UpConverter can receive signals at 480i, 480p,
720p or 1080i.
Support for 1080i pass-thru - if a 1080i signal is detected, the signal can be passed
through at the full 1080i resolution. You can also down-convert the 1080i signal to 720p
or 480p resolutions.

Trouble Shooting Notes
1.) On the Brightness/Color – Main Video menu why can't I change the Vertical

this presents the best image quality. If you change the MADI setting to
Vertical Temporal (VT), you will notice that now you can change the Vertical
Sharpness setting in the Brightness/Color – Main menu
2.) I connected my Progressive DVD player and now I cannot select MADI settings or
Noise reduction filters. (see special note above).

interlacing cannot be performed.
b. This function will also apply to 480p or 720p input from an HD cable,
satellite or terrestrial signal.
3.) I have made lots of changes but I'd like to reset back to factory defaults. How can I
do this?
a. Unplug the UpConverter power Cable.
b. Re-attach the power cable.
c. Press and hold down the Channel Up Button on the front panel of the
UpConverter.
d. While holding down the Channel Up Button, Press the Power button. The
unit will power up and you will notice the following message in the display
area: "RESET ADS TECH Factory Defaults".
Keep in mind that this is pas-thru – we don't do anything to the
