Safety Instructions
Before first using this device please read the following instructions carefully and take note of the safety warnings, even if you are familiar with using electronic devices. Please keep this manual safe for future reference. Please ensure that if you resell or pass on this device, you also include these instructions.
Operational safety
Please follow the usage instructions of your computer. Keep the device away from moisture, vibration, dust, heat and direct
sunlight to avoid system failure.
Never open the device casing. Doing so will void the warranty and could
lead to permanent damage to the device.
Never allow children to play unsupervised with electrical devices. Children
cannot always recognise possible hazards. Small parts may cause choking resulting in death or serious injury. Keep packaging away from children as it is a suffocation risk.
After transport wait until the device has reached ambient temperature
before use. In extreme temperature or humidity fluctuation condensation can lead to moisture build up which can cause a short circuit.
Always handle the cables by the connector and do not pull on the cables
themselves. Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or connectors and ensure that the cable shielding does not become cracked. Never tie a knot in a cable and do not tie cables together. Ensure that all cables are placed so that no one can trip over them and they do not cause an obstruction.

Setup for first time use
Installing the software
The required software (drivers and applications) must first be installed before you plug in the device.
When installing programs or drivers important files can be overwritten and altered. You should back up the contents of your hard drive before the installation of the programs, so that you can still access your original files if there is a problem with the installation.
Should your operating system be set in a way that the installation of software and drivers will only be accepted when they are signed (approved by Microsoft), an appropriate dialogue box will appear. This does not mean that the driver is defective, just that it is indicating that it does not have this Microsoft signature. You can ignore this advice. Click on 'Continue' to install the drivers.
Insert the enclosed CD ROM into the drive and the installation menu opens
automatically.
Install the software (Power Director) and the drivers (Device Driver)
according to the directions on the screen.
Restart your PC after installation to finalise the procedure.
If the installation assistant does not automatically start when the CD ROM is inserted, then the auto run function of your CD drive is deactivated. Then proceed as follows:
Click on the 'Start' button to open the Start Menu. Click on the option 'Run...' Insert the drive letter of your CD ROM drive, followed by a colon and the
program name 'Autorun' (e.g. D:autorun)
Click on the 'OK' button to confirm the action.
A description of the software can be found on the CD ROM.

Connecting to your PC
In order to record using the Video Grabber you must first install the software. If you haven't already done so, go to the chapter entitled 'Installing the software' and follow the instructions.
Connect the adapter (5) to the Video Grabber (1) as shown in the earlier
illustration.
Attach the video output of your source (e.g. camcorder) to the Video
Grabber. Now you have the choice of the following types of connection:
Composite Video Signal
Connect one end of the Audio/Video cable (4) (yellow, red and white
connectors at both ends) with the video input (yellow) and the audio input (red and white) of the connection adapter.
Connect the other end of the Audio/Video cable (4) with a free video
output (normally a yellow socket) and a free audio output (normally a red and white socket) of your source.
S-Video-Signal
Connect one end of the S-Video cable (3) (same plug on both cable
ends) with the S-Video input (black) of the connection adapter.
Connect the other side of the S-Video cable (3) to a free S-Video output
of your source.
Scart Adapter
When your source does not have a Video or S-Video output, you can use the enclosed Scart Adapter (2).
Connect either the S-Video cable (3) (same plug on both cable ends) or
the Audio/Video cable (4) (yellow, red and white plug on both cable ends) to the Scart Adapter.
Plug the Scart Adapter into a free Scart socket of your source.

English SilverCrest USB 2.0 Video Grabber SVG 2.0 A1
Connect the audio output of your source to the Video Grabber. To this
purpose use the red and white RCA connectors of the Audio/Video cable (4).
Plug the Video Grabber's USB connector into a free USB 2.0 port, ensuring
your PC is switched on. Use the enclosed extension cable (6) if necessary to extend the reach of the cable. If possible, ensure that the Video Grabber is directly connected to your PC (not via a USB Hub). Only use the device with a USB 2.0 port.
The operating system will automatically detect the Video Grabber. Follow
the instructions on the screen.
Use the enclosed software to record from your source. The software
provides detailed usage instructions in electronic format. Start the relevant program.

Turvallisuusohjeet
Lue seuraavat ohjeet huolellisesti läpi ennen laitteen ensimmäistä käyttökertaa ja huomioi kaikki varoitukset, vaikka elektronisten laitteiden käsittely olisikin sinulle tuttua. Säilytä tätä käyttöohjetta huolellisesti tulevaa tarvetta varten. Jos myyt tai annat laitteen eteenpäin, luovuta myös ehdottomasti tämä ohje.
Käyttöturvallisuus
Noudata tietokoneesi käyttöohjetta. Pidä laite etäällä kosteudesta ja vältä tärinää, pölyä, kuumuutta ja suoraa
auringonpaistetta, jotta toimintahäiriöt vältetään.
Älä koskaan avaa laitteen runkoa. Takuu raukeaa ja laite saattaa tuhoutua. Älä koskaan anna lasten leikkiä sähkölaitteilla ilman valvontaa. Lapset eivät
aina kykene tunnistamaan mahdollisia vaaroja. Pienet osat saattavat aiheuttaa nielaistaessa hengenvaaran. Pidä pakkausmuovit lasten ulottumattomissa. Tukehtumisvaara.
Ennen kuin otat laitteen käyttöön kuljetuksen jälkeen, odota, että se
sopeutuu ympäristölämpötilaan. Kun lämpötila- ja kosteusheilahtelut ovat suuria, lauhtuminen voi aiheuttaa kosteuden muodostumista, josta voi olla seurauksena oikosulku.
Ota kaikista kaapeleista kiinni aina pistokkeesta, älä vedä suoraan
kaapelista. Älä laita painavia esineitä kaapelin päälle ja huomioi, ettei kaapelia taiteta erityisesti pistokkeen ja liitinten alueella. Älä koskaan tee kaapeliin solmua äläkä sido kaapelia yhteen muiden kaapeleiden kanssa. Kaikki kaapelit on asennettava siten, ettei kukaan astu niiden päälle ja etteivät ne ole kenenkään tiellä.
