1 Introduction
1.1 HDTV PVR
TVIX PVR can play HDTV without a digital TV set-top box with
excellent and super-clear display on HDTV screens
The TViX PVR is designed for high definition digital terrestrial TV receptions within TViX
environment in compliance with the ATSC digital terrestrial standard..
TViX PVR has the various recording features like direct recording/scheduled recording and
repeated manual recording, so you cannot miss single program of digital TV. It's a
completely different type of PVR since you can easily upgrade and expand the capacity of
HDD by themselves like PC upgrading. And you can backup the recorded file to/from the
PC.
TViX PVR implements all the ATSC features like EPG/scheduled recording/ PCconnectivity and this will let user enjoy all the fruits of the digital broadcasting as well as the
supreme audio and video qualities. You can use the scheduled recording and scheduled
watch using this EPG window.
When using the HDTV mode, you can configure the sleep time. If the sleep time is
reached when the recording is in progress, the TViX will shut down after finishing the
recording .
This model does not support analog (NTSC) broadcasting. If you want to use the analog channel, you have
to use the RF splitter.(We don’t support RF splitter in the package.)
We don’t have any warranty or responsibility for the recoding file.

1.2 Multimedia Player
TViX HD is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player which plays
digital videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD files to a
TV display and home entertainment system. You can enjoy digital
contents in your living room without having to burn discs or
having to play it back on a DVD or CD player anymore.
** For the further functions, please refer to following FAQ- http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/faq
TViX HD plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can
create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal collection of DVDs in .ISO
or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if they were running from the original DVDs (all
original features included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind,
Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.).
TViX HD plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080P) and still images. Prerecorded HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video contents
taken by a HDV™ camcorder can be played back with the TViX HD on a high definition
display. The TViX HD features a HDMI connector and component, which will match the
high resolution of HD level video contents.
Using the latest EM8623 processor, TViX HD supports the latest multimedia formats
MPEG-4 AVC(H.264), VC-1( MP@HL, AP@L3), WMV9 & WMV HD as well as MPEG4
3.11,4.0 , 5.0. H.264 is a brand-new and superb compression technology today. It makes
you more stunning HD movie with lower storage capacity.
HDMI provides unparalleled qualities to digital video and audio, while DVI only serves
digital video. You don’t have to mess around with several AV cables. It provides single,
pure and simple way to connect your display. It can deliver uncompressed digital video
up to 1080p as well as multi-channel digital audio.
TViX HD supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more
dynamic sound quality.
The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are
able to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD’s wired or wireless network and play the file
from its original destination without having to copy it into the TViX first. We’re supporting
the file copy via LAN.
With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives to
further extend the storage capacity. You can also playback files from a digital camera,
USB flash driver, USB flash card reader, or a MP3 player.

you use USB 2.0.
It can be used as an external device to save video, audio, image files, data, program backups, etc.
USB 2.0 enables TViX HD to become an external storage device which supports up to 480Mbps.
It supports Plug & Play, so Windows will automatically recognize TViX HD.
If you connect the USB port when playing the TViX HD, the VFD will show as USB ON. When you
disconnect the USB, you do not have to reboot the TViX HD for continuous use.
If you are a Windows98SE user, you should download a USB storage driver from our website
www.tvix.co.kr
before you connect your TViX HD with your system. You do not need to install a driver in
Windows ME/2000/XP.
