Installing the WinTV-PVR-150/500 Kit
for Media Center Edition
The WinTV-PVR for Media Center boards differ from the non-MCE WinTV-PVR versions in that they use the Microsoft Media Center USB Remote control and IR
transmitter instead of the WinTV-PVR’s built-in IR receiver transmitter.
Installation overview

Step 2. After starting WindowsXP, install the WinTV-PVR device driver from
the WinTV MCE Driver Installation CD-ROM.
Step 3. Install the Media Center remote control.
Detailed installation instructions
Step 1: Install the WinTV-PVR-150/500 board in your Media Center
PC and connect the cables
Turn the power off on your PC. Install the WinTV-PVR into a PCI slot. On
some PC’s, the WinTV-PVR needs to be plugged into the first or second PCI slot.
Plug your TV antenna or cable TV cable into the TV Connector.
Audio and video from an external A/V device (satellite TV receiver, cable TV box,
VCR, camcorder, camera, DVD player) can be brought into the WinTV-PVR via the
back panel connectors. If your A/V device uses S-Video, connect to the S-Video
input on the WinTV-PVR-150/500MCE. If your video device uses composite video
instead of S-Video, use the yellow RCA jack.
