Cinergy T² Hardware (English) 5
Welcome!
We're pleased that you've chosen a TerraTec receiver system and would like to congratulate
you on this decision. With the TerraTec Cinergy T², you've purchased a sophisticated product
representing the state of the art of PC/TV technology. We're convinced that our product will
prove extremely useful to you and provide you with a great deal of entertainment, both at
home and on the road. Before we go into detail, here's a foretaste of what you can expect:
Digital TV in your pocket.
With the Cinergy T², you can receive all free digital terrestrial TV broadcasts (DVB-T) on your
desktop or laptop PC using the included antenna. The Cinergy T² connects directly to a USB
2.0 port and also draws its power from the port. A separate power adapter or batteries are not
required.
Totally digital.
The Cinergy T² receives its signals from an antenna as always. But digital TV has so much
more to offer. DVD picture quality, loss-free recording in MPEG-2 format and timeshifting—
with which you can simply pause live programs and restart them later where you left off—take
you to the TV of the future. Enhance your TV experience with additional tasty features: the
electronic program guide delivers up-to-date program information for the near future and lets
you plan your recordings with a single click. All received teletext pages are stored in memory
for lightning-fast navigation with your mouse.
Totally manageable.
Digital recordings are a great thing, but sooner or later they can fill even the largest hard drive.
Manage them with Ulead MovieFactory 3 TV: remove annoying advertising blocks from your
recordings and archive them on DVD.
Totally convenient.
Control the onscreen menu of the Cinergy T² and a wide range of other multimedia applications from the comfort of your sofa using the included remote control.
We hope you enjoy your Cinergy T² and would like to suggest that you browse this hopefully
entertaining manual when you get the chance. In addition to the important information about
its technology, we have outlined a number of typical applications wherever appropriate. We're
convinced that even experienced users will profit from this guide.
Thanks for your attention—enjoy!
...your TerraTec Team
