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 have any warranty or responsibility for the recoding file.

1.2 Multimedia Player
TViX 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 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 plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080i) and still images. Pre-recorded
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 on a high definition display. The TViX
features a DVI connector and component, which will match the high resolution of HD level
video contents.
Using the latest EM8621 processor, TViX supports the latest multimedia formats (WMV9 &
WMV HD) as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 and 5.0.
Using the high definition DVI output, you can directly connect the TViX to your HDTV.
TViX supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more
dynamic sound quality.
The TViX can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able to
navigate to a PC file through TViX’s 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. You can also playback files from a digital camera, USB flash
driver, USB flash card reader, or a MP3 player.
8
1.3 Audio Player
TViX can play a variety of audio files such as FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis or WMA (Windows Media Audio)
through the TV speaker and any other audio systems. You can listen to your favorite music files nonstop, by
organizing a custom winamp playlist. Now you can enjoy music all day without changing CDs.
TViX supports the internet radio of shoutcast streaming format(.pls,.m3u).
You can watch picture slideshows with the option of background music (supports music slideshows using
picture images).
1.4 External Storage
If you connect to a USB 1.1 port, the TViX will work at USB 1.1 speed, so we strongly recommend that
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 to become an external storage device which supports up to 480Mbps.
It supports Plug & Play, so Windows will automatically recognize TViX.
If you connect the USB port when playing the TViX, the VFD will show as USB ON. When you disconnect
the USB, you do not have to reboot the TViX for continuous use.
If you are a Windows98SE user, you should download a USB storage driver from our website
www.tvix.co.kr/Eng
before you connect your TViX with your system. You do not need to install a driver in
Windows ME/2000/XP.
You can download NetShare installer from our website www.tvix.co.kr/Eng before you configure NFS
network. If you select to NFS mode, you can play the TP or DVD jukebox without stutter.

② Connect antenna to IN port of RF splitter.
③ Connect one OUT port to the TV antenna input and the other to the HD Tuner.
④ Connect the TViX’s video output to TV’s input.
⑤ To receive the digital signal, it's best to use an outdoor Digital Ready antenna but in some areas you
may be able to get reception from an indoor antenna. To improve the picture quality in a poor signal area,
please purchase a signal amplifier and install properly.
