Installation
I. Installing the hardware (see Figure I)
Store the card in the anti-static packaging until you actually install it.
• Divert any possible electrostatic charge from your body by touching the casing of your PC.
• Turn off your computer and any peripherals connected to it. Disconnect the computer from the power
supply system, loosen all the necessary cable connections, and open the computer casing.
• Select an available PCI Express expansion slot. Loosen the cover to the expansion slot on the back
panel of the computer, and put the screws for it in a safe place.
• Insert the card in the previously selected PCI Express expansion slot. Hold the card firmly on the
upper edge and ease it into the expansion slot by applying even pressure on both ends. Press the
upper edge until the card fits securely in the expansion slot.
• After you have inserted the hardware, tighten the card retaining bracket firmly onto the back of the
computer.
Optional: To use the Wake Up function, insert the Wake Up cable into the computer as follows. Unplug the
power switch cable from the motherboard (connection between the computer front power switch and the
motherboard) while noting the position. Attach the cable to the PCTV card (see Wake Up connection in Fig. II.);
it doesn't matter which of the two connections on the PCTV card you use. Now take the Wake Up cable and
connect the second Wake Up connection (on the PCTV card) to the power switch connection on the
motherboard.
• Now, put the casing of your computer back on and reconnect the peripherals.
II. Connecting the devices (see Figure II)
• Please connect your antenna(s) to the antenna input jacks (freely selectable) on your hardware.
• Connect the remote control receiver cable to the remote input terminal. (optional)
III. Setting up the remote control (optional)
• Secure the free end of the receiver cable to your monitor or computer casing with the tape strips
included in the package.
• Make sure that the space between the remote control and receiver is unobstructed.
• Insert the batteries in the remote control.
IV. Installing the software
You need to have Administrator rights to be able to install the program under Windows XP and to work
with the program. If the “Add new hardware” dialog window appears during installation, press cancel.
• Insert the PCTV installation CD in the corresponding drive of your computer. The setup program now
either starts automatically or you can start the autorun.exe in the setup directory on the CD-ROM.
• Now follow the installation instructions displayed on the screen.
• After installation, you will be prompted to restart your computer. This restart needs to be done in
order for the software to function properly.
