In the interest of your own safety and the flawless functioning of your new PCTV MediaCenter 100i and computer system please note the following: Computer components are sensitive to static charge. Divert any electrostatic charge from your person before touching the components with your hands or any tools. Before opening the computer make sure that the power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet. 2 Hardware Installation Preparing installation The only tool you need for the installation is a screwdriver. Discharge yourself of static charge by touching the power unit casing. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and all necessary components. Loosen the computer's cover screws and remove the cover. Select a free PCI (busmaster) slot. Remove the slot's cover at the back of the computer and keep the screws. Slot shields Power supply unit PCI slots Slots 3 Using PCTV MediaCenter 100i hardware Please connect an internal audio cable plug to the internal audio output of the board and the other plug to the internal audio input of your soundcard. Plug the board into the previously selected PCI slot. To do so hold the board at the top and push it down into the slot applying even pressure at both ends. Press down on the upper edge so that the board fits firmly in the slot. If the board is not easily inserted into the slot, then please do not use force as this may bend the contact springs on the socket connector. Instead, remove the board and try to insert it once again. After installation After you have inserted the hardware, firmly tighten the retaining bracket of the board on the back of the computer. Now place the cover onto your computer and connect the peripheral devices. 4 Connecting the Equipment internal audio to sound card Composite video OR S-Video Remote control receiver TV antenna OR cable terminal For example: camcorder, video recorder, CCD camera, DVD/VCD player, video game console 5 Technical Data Bus system PCI Rev. 2.3 Video decoder Philips SAA7134 TV tuner Microtune MT2050 The tuner supports the following depending on its circuit configuration: PAL B/G/D/K/I or PAL B/G/D/K/I/SECAM or NTSC, PAL M/N The frequency range is 45.75 to 863.25 MHz. Video inputs S-Video input (Mini-DIN), Composite video input (chinch) Antenna input 75 Ohm IEC adapter or F-connector 6 Remote control input Remote control input for connecting optionally supplied receiver cable Depending on the model, your board may not have a separate remote control input terminal. In this case, connect the receiver cable to any available serial port (RS2323) on your PC. Audio output Internal audio output (for the sound card) via 4-pole connector, 2.8 mm pitch Depending on the model, an optional external 3.5 mm jack plug is available for audio output. 7 Konformitätserklärung nach ISO/IEC Guide 22 Declaration of conformity in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 22 Anbieter / Supplier : Anschrift / Address : Produkt / Product : Nr. / No 1.00 Pinnacle Systems GmbH Frankfurter Strasse 3c 38122 Braunschweig, Germany PCTV STEREO Das oben beschriebene Produkt ist konform mit: / The product described above is in conformity with: Dokument-Nr.
