Installing the WinTV-PVR-USB2 MCE

The WinTV-PVR-USB2 MCE is an external USB2.0 device with a built-in TV tuner
plus FM radio and hardware MPEG encoder.

The WinTV-PVR-USB2 MCE differs from the retail WinTV-PVR-USB2 version in that
the MCE version does not include a built-in remote control receiver since Media Center
requires its own unique USB connected remote control device.

To sucessfully configure a Windows XP Media Center 2005 system with
TV and remote control, you will need to install the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2

and a Media Center remote control transmitter and receiver (included in some models).

Installation overview

To install WinTV-PVR-USB2 MCE, you will follow these steps:

Step 1. Connect the TV antenna, FM radio antenna (optional) to

WinTV-PVR-USB2. Connect the USB cable to the WinTV-PVR­USB2 and to a USB port on your PC.

Step 2. Boot your PC.

Step 3. After Windows is running, plug the supplied Power Supply into

WinTV-PVR-USB2’s power input.

Step 4. After plugging in the power to WinTV-PVR-USB2, the Found New

Hardware Wizard will then load the WinTV-PVR-USB2 driver from
the WinTV MCE Installation CD-ROM.

Step 1: Connect the WinTV-PVR-USB2 cables

Plug your TV antenna or cable TV cable into the WinTV-PVR-usb’s TV
Connector. If you would like to use FM radio, plug the supplied Radio aerial into

the FM radio connector. This may not be necessary if your TV aerial or cable net­work supplies FM, or if you do not want to listen to radio with Media Center.

The S-Video and

Composite video
inputs and the Left
& Right Audio
Inputs can be used

to bring audio/video
from a VCR, cam­corder, DVD player
or satellite receiver.

Plug one end (the
square end) of the
supplied USB
cable in the WinTV­PVR-USB2’s USB
Cable connector.
