The following sections provide step-by-step instructions on installing and configuring
the DVB-T card, accessories and software.
3.1. DirectX
Before installing your new Video Wonder DVB-T, it is necessary to install DirectX 9.0
or higher to your Operating system. You’ll find this program on the CD-ROM in the
folder DirectX
English
3.2. Installing the Video Wonder DVB-T (Digital Video
Broadcasting Terrestrial)
1. Switch off your PC and all connected peripheral devices such as your printer and
monitor. Leave the AC power cable connected for the time being, so that your
computer is still grounded.
2. Touch the metal chassis at the rear of the PC to ground and to discharge static.
Now unplug the cord from the AC power socket.
3. Remove the cover from the case of your PC.
4. Look for a free PCI expansion slot. When selecting the PCI slot, note that DVB-T
cards should not be plugged into PCI slot 1 in conjunction with an AGP graphics
card because PCI slot 1 is very frequently assigned to the same interrupts as the
AGP slot. This would give both cards the same interrupt, which can lead to crashes
during operation! The numbers assigned to the PCI slots are listed in your
motherboard manual.
5. Carefully remove the card from its packaging and pick it up by the edges with one
hand while your other hand is touching a metal part of the PC.
English
This will ensure that your body is completely discharged via your computer without
damaging the TV card.
6. Align the holder at the rear of the TV card in the expansion slot in such a way that
the card’s connectors are directly in line with the slot’s socket.
7. Push the DVB-T card firmly into the slot, ensuring good contact.
8. Fasten the DVB-T card with an appropriate screw.
9. Reinstall the cover of your PC case.
10. Connect the portable antenna cable or the UHF/ VHF antenna cable (which you
would normally connect to the antenna input terminal on your television) to the TV
antenna terminal on the DVB-T card. Reconnect the AC power cable as well as all
other cables. Make sure that your speakers are set to low volume.
