WinTV-D Connectors

If you have extra self-amplified speakers, you can connect the WinTV-D for enhanced Surround sound. When making connections to the speakers, you can use an Audio

extension cable and the supplied Adapter to connect your speakers to the A/V cable’s Black, White or Red RCA jacks.

You can configure the following modes:

3 speaker mode (L,R,C)

If you have one extra speaker, connect this speaker as the Center speaker (use the Black RCA jack). Position the speaker behind the PC user.

5 speaker mode

This mode gives you the best effect of the WinTV-D. Connect two speakers as Surround (use the White and Red RCA

jacks) and one as the Center speaker (the Black RCA jack).

Note: Our web site has information on installing the WinTV and software updates. Find installation tips at: http://www.hauppauge.com/html/sw_wcst.htm. WinTV software updates can be found at: http://www.hauppauge.com/html/98_sw.htm.

Incompatible motherboards

We recommend the use of a motherboard with an Intel chipset because some older motherboards do not fully support the WinTV .We have software updates on our web site which will fix incompatibilities found with several VIA and SIS-based motherboards. Please see

http://www.hauppauge.com/html/sw_wcst.htm in the Tips section.

Poor image when running WinTV in 256-color mode

Many VGA’s cannot run WinTV in 256-color mode. Instead, run in 16-bit or 24-bit color mode.

No TV audio from your PC’s Left and Right speaker

Be sure your PC’s audio mixer LineIn setting is not muted, and at a reasonable volume level. If the LineIn setting is not muted, you can verify that the WinTV card is working by connecting self-amplified speakers directly to the A/V cable’s 1/8” miniplug. Use the supplied

Adapter if necessary.

System lockups or error messages when running WinTV2000

Some VGA cards have memory conflicts with WinTV. To fix this, try switching PCI slots. Also, you can increase the memory range used by the WinTV board in Device Manager. To do this, look under Sound, video and game controllers, double click on the Hauppauge video section, click on Resources, unclick Use Automatic settings and double click on Memory range. In the Edit memory range dialog box, there are small up/down arrows next to Value. Click the little up arrow a couple of times. Make sure there are no conflicts. Then click OK and then OK again. When it says Creat-

ed a forced configuration, click Yes. Then reboot your PC.

Poor TV Reception or Not detecting all channels:

Poor TV reception is generally the result of an insufficiently strong TV signal. When using a 'roof-top' antenna, an aerial booster may be required. If you find that some or all of the channels have not been detected, you can insert channels manually.

Quick Troubleshooting Guide

Step 6: DirectDraw check

Basic audio setup

To configure the WinTV-D audio for your speaker configuration, click on Configure / Audio.

Set Audio Mixer Inputs to WinTV Volume.You should hear sound from a TV channel. If you do not hear audio, refer to the next section: “Quick Troubleshooting Guide.”

Then click Advanced Audio.

After the DirectDraw check completes, WinTV Setup will be run.

To use the remote control, make sure

Install the Hauppauge IR Remote Control Application is checked.

Click Install to install the WinTV2000 and WinTV-Snapshot applications.

After the Setup program is complete, you will see a WinTV2000 icon on your Windows desktop. To run the WinTV2000 application, double click on the WinTV2000 icon. After rebooting your PC, the Remote Control will

be enabled.

Step 7: WinTV Software installation

Step 10: Configuring Surround Sound audio

Digital TV is broadcast over the airwaves. To receive Digital TV, a rooftop antenna is recommended in most areas of the U.S. In cities, a bowtie antenna can often be used if positioned near a window facing the Digital TV broadcaster.

Since Digital TV is broadcast over the air, it is necessary to position the antenna to point at the Digital TV transmitter. We have included a utility in the WinTV application to help position the TV antenna.

To position the Digital TV antenna, do the following:

• Use the supplied list of Digital TV stations to find a Digital TV channel which you know broadcasts in your area. For example, in Cleveland, WKYC broadcasts Digital TV on channel 2.

• Open the Channel Suite Manager. To do this, click on the Suite button on WinTV2000, or click on Configure/Channels/SuiteManager on the WinTV32 application. Then double click on Input

Sources. Click on Tuner to see the Digital TV antenna configuration.

• Then click Add. Enter the Digital TV Channel Number (for example: 2 for WKYC in Cleveland)

and the Channel Name. Make sure Broadcast is set to Antenna, and that Tuner Format is set to DTV-ATSC. Click Add and then OK.

• Now, to get the diagnostics menu to help orient your Digital TV antenna, hold the CTRL button on your keyboard down while clicking the right

mouse button.

Keep the right mouse button depressed for a few seconds, and you’ll see a menu pop up. Click on the last line, Diagnostics.

• Now slowly rotate your antenna until the Sync Lock and Eq. Lock lights turn green. This indicates that the DTV antenna is pointed to the DTV transmitter.

Step 9: Tuning Digital TV channels

Scanning for channels

When running WinTV2000 for the first time, you will need to scan for your TV channels. The WinTV-D board has two coax video connectors: a Digital TV antenna connector and a cable TV connector. You will need to scan for TV channels on each connector.

When scanning the Digital TV antenna, set the Tuner Format to DTV-ATSC. Make sure the Broadcast entry is set to Antenna.

When scanning the cable TV connector, set the Tuner Format to MN. Make sure the

Broadcast entry is set to CableTV.

Configuring Surround sound

For a basic two speaker system, click on 2 Spkr (L,R).To get enhanced audio, click on Virtual Dolby

Mode, then adjust the 3D-Effect, Reverb and Spatial for pleas-

ing results.

For a three speaker

system, (connect per the instructions in Step 3b) click on 3 Spkr (L,R,C) Dolby 3 Stereo.

For a 4 or 5 speaker system, click on 4/5 Spkr (L,R,C,S) Dolby Pro Logic.

Setting up the channels

After you have scanned for channels, you can add the channel names. To do this, click on the Suite button on WinTV2000, or click on Configure/Channels/Suit- eManager on the WinTV32 application.

Then double click on Input Sources.

Chose Tuner for the Digital TV anten- na, or Tuner2 for cable TV. Click on the desired channel, then click on Edit. Change the ChannelName to the name of the station. Then click OK.
