CONNECTING THE TV TUNER
Your TV Tuner and Instant MyMedia will work “out-of-the-box”, but if you want to connect your notebook to an external device, follow the instructions in this section.
• The WinDVR application located on the TV Tuner Application Disc should be installed before connecting the TV tuner.
• If you are connecting external devices to your notebook, be sure to read the instructions that accompany them before connecting them.
The following external devices can be connected to the notebook to work with Instant MyMedia:
• Image devices such as video decks and video cameras. These can be connected either with composite cables or S-Video cables.
• Audio devices can be connected via the video audio input jack on the notebook.
Connecting an Antenna
In order to receive television signals, you must first hook up an antenna to your notebook. An RF antenna adapter was included with the notebook for hooking up the antenna. Note that this requires an antenna (either cable or standalone) with a coaxial connection.

To connect an antenna to your notebook:
1. Connect the wide coaxial connector end of the RF antenna adapter to the coaxial connector on the antenna (this includes cable TV antennas).
2. Connect the other end of the adapter to the antenna jack on the left side of the notebook, as shown in Figure 6.
Connecting an External Audio Device
You can listen to media from an external device such as an external CD player by connecting it to your notebook. In order to connect an audio device, you will first need to purchase a standard RCA cable harness (red/white, max 1Vrms), as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Audio Cable
To connect the audio cable:
1. Connect the cable to the audio output jacks on the external device by matching the colors of the cable with the colors of the jacks.
2. Connect the cable to the audio input jacks on the notebook by matching the colors of the cable with the colors of the jacks (See Figure 8).

Connecting an External Video Device
You can view videos and images from an external device on your notebook. Depending upon the configuration of the device, you will need to purchase either a composite RCA video cable (Figure 9) or an S-Video 4-pin cable (Figure 11). You will also need to connect an audio cable, as described in “Connecting an External Audio Device” on page 14. The video cables use different ports, as described below.
Composite Video Cable Connection

Before recording
Instant MyMedia can record the TV program being viewed on a DVD-RAM disc
• The procedures in this section assume that you are in TV mode.
• If in a pre-boot environment, you can only record to DVD-RAM discs.
• Instant MyMedia cannot record TV programs to a hard disk or using a timer. For recording to the hard disk or recording using the timer, refer to the WinDVR manual.
21
Initializing a DVD disc
If you use a new DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-RAM disc used in other applications, it must be initialized before recording.
If you want to record on a disc after deleting old programs recorded with Instant MyMedia, the disc must be initialized.
For double-sided DVD-RAM discs, initialize one side first, then the second side.
If data is written on a DVD-RAM disc, it will be deleted when the disc is initialized.
1. Insert the DVD-RAM disc you want to format into the notebook’s multi-format drive. If a disc for PC data is installed, a message stating so will appear. Follow the instructions on the screen to format the disc.
2. Press the [Menu] button while in TV mode.
3. Using the cursor control buttons, select the Disc Management tab.
4. Select “Quick format” or “Full format” and press the [Enter] button. Formatting will start.
Perform “Full format” in the following cases:
• When Instant MyMedia does not identify the disc even though “Quick Format” has already been performed previously.
• When recording has failed
• When using a new disc
• When using a disc used in writing data on the notebook
It takes about 75 minutes for “Full Format.”
5. When formatting has been completed, recordable time for the disc is indicated. Note that the percentage indicator showing progress status may abruptly accelerate at around 80%. In this case, initialization may have terminated, but the disc has been initialized without any problem. During the initialization, all operations become ineffective.
Setting the recording mode
There are three different recording modes: High Quality, Good Quality, and Extended Play.
Recording Mode Recording Time* Quality
DVD HQ: High Quality Approximately 1 hour Best
DVD GQ: Good Quality Approximately 2 hours Better
