Slow motion button

Clicking the Slow Motion button will play video at 1/2 speed. Click the Slow Motion button
again to play your video at normal speed.

File button

Clicking the File button opens the File menu. The last file recorded is listed in the File name
box. In the File menu you can:

● Rename your recorded video file. To rename a video file, find the file you would like to

rename, highlight it with your mouse, click and hold the right mouse button. Go down
to Rename and then you can type in a new name. Remember:you must keep the MPG
extension on the file.

● Play a video file previously recorded: find the file you would like to play, highlight it

with your mouse (one click of the mouse button) and click Open. Then click the Play
button.

● Delete recorded video files which you no longer want (and which consume hard disk

space). Click your right mouse button on the video file once, go down the menu and
click on Delete.

“Pause”-Mode

Clicking the Pause button or OTP (One touch Pause) button on the WinTV-2000 application
starts the Pause mode. The Pause Menu will drop down.

“Pause” buffer

The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored during the Pause mode.
The maximum amount of time which your TV program can be delayed is dependent upon
how much storage space you have set for the Pause buffer.

Pause

Clicking the Pause button or OTP (One touch Pause) button makes WinTV 2000 to start
recording into WinTV's Replay Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be
initialized and for Pause to become effective.

Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to start playing from the
point where the button was originally pushed.

Most WinTV 2000 functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live mode. For exam­ple, you can change volume, resize the TV window, go into "no-title mode", etc.

While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the Replay Buffer which
is filled with video. For example, if the Video Position indicator shows halfway, it means
that half of the Replay Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Pause as many minutes as you
would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer.

While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay Buffer. To stop saving
the A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must exit the Pause mode by clicking the TV
mode button.

Replay button

While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the Instant Replay you see on
TV broadcast sporting events: the audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you
have previously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go back 10
seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video you saw 10 seconds ago, you
would click the Replay button once. If you want to see the video you saw one minute ago,
you would need to click the Replay button six times.

For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab the Video Position
indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once you let the control bar go, audio/video
starts to play (it might take a few seconds for the WinTV2000 application to start playing).

You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and right to find the desired
spot to start replaying audio/video.

While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded in the Replay Buffer.
Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3 times (so that you are replaying the
audio/video seen 30 seconds ago), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30 sec­onds behind the "live" audio/video program.

Skip

Clicking the Skip button will skip the video ahead 10 seconds.

Rewind button

Clicking the Rewind button while playing video will rewind the recorded video. Clicking the
Rewind button again will continue the playing.

SlowMotion

Clicking the SlowMotion button while playing video will play in Slow Motion.

Clicking the SlowMotion button again, will continue playing normally.

Fast forward button

Clicking the Fast foward button one time will fast foward your video at 2X speed. Clicking
the Fast Foward button two times will fast foward your video at 8X speed.

WinTV-Scheduler allows you to schedule the recording of TV shows. WinTV-Scheduler, once
it is set, can be closed, and the WinTV application will “wake up” at the desired time and
tuned to the desired channel.

After installation, WinTV-Scheduler can be found by going to Start / Program files /
Hauppauge WinTV.

WinTV-Scheduler works by using the Windows Task Scheduler to launch WinTV at the chosen
time. WinTV-Scheduler sets up a command line in Task Scheduler to run WinTV2000, specify­ing a TV channel and a length of time to record.

To set up an event for timed watching or recording, run WinTV-2000 Scheduler and click on
the Add Program.

The items that need to be set for each event are:

- Time to Begin Program: set to the desired start time. The default time is about 3 minutes

from the current time. Click on the hour to set the hour, the minute to set the minute and the
second (if you feel this is necessary) to set the minute to start the program. Note: It takes
about 10 seconds to launch the WinTV and set up for recording, so set the Time to Begin
Progam to 10 seconds before the time your TV show actually starts.

- Time to End Program: set to the time to end this event. Note: you need to leave at least 30

seconds between scheduled programs to give the recorder time to set up its disk buffers.

- Program Period: one time, daily, weekly

- Date to Begin Program: todays date is the default. Change this if you want to schedule on

another date.

- Source selection: leave set at WinTV2000 to bring up the WinTV at the requested time and

on the requested channel.

- Channel selection: chose one of your scanned channels.

- Recording options: click on Record to File to record your show. Leave this button

unchecked to watch TV at the requested time. You can also name your file to record.

Once these are set, click Set Program. You can add more Events, clicking Set Program after
each event is set. When you are finished click Close. The WinTV program does not have to
be running for the Schedular to work. If WinTV is not running, it takes about 10 seconds to
start WinTV-2000 and to start the recording of TV.

WinTV-Scheduler

The WinTV-2000’s remote control software is installed automatically during the installation of
the WinTV applications. You will see the WinTV Remote icon in the Device Tray. The installa­tion will add a shortcut to IR.EXE to the Startup group, so that IR.EXE is loaded every time
after Windows has restarted.

If you need to restart the remote control, run IR32.EXE from the C:\Program Files\WinTV
directory.

Checking the function of the IR Remote

WinTV’s Remote application is loaded everytime Windows is restarted. You will see a Remote
Control icon in the device tray. To check the remote control operation, point the Remote trans­mitter at the Remote control receiver.

When you click the Go button on the Remote transmitter, after 3-4 seconds the Remote icon
should flash, indicating that the Remote application is running. After the remote icon flashes,
the WinTV appplication selector will appear in a window on your screen.
