PCTV 7010iX is a PCI Express 6 in 1 TV card. It allows you to receive digital TV and radio (DVB-T and DVB-S), analog TV and FM radio. Depending on the antenna signals connected, computer performance and the software you are using, you can freely choose the four channels to be received/recorded at the same time: 2 DVB-T channels (TV or radio) plus 2 DVB-S channels (TV or radio) or 1 analog channel (TV or radio) plus 1 DVB-T channel (TV or radio) plus 2 DVB-S channels (TV or radio) or 2 analog channels (TV or radio) plus 2 DVB-S channels (TV or radio) Plus, you can use the analog video input, for example, to digitize your old video cassettes. Digital satellite TV (DVB-S), as well as digital terrestrial TV (DVB-T), offers an expansive channel selection with excellent picture and audio quality. Additional services, such as interactive TV and IP data reception, are also available. Further information on DVB-T and DVB-S can be found on the internet at www.dvb.org. And now have fun with your PCTV 7010iX! 1 Package Contents PCTV 7010iX (illustration is a sample) Video adapter or multi-connector cable IEC adapter for FM antenna (optional) Remote control with batteries and receiver cable (illustrations are samples) Installation CD PDF files on CD-ROM: User Manual, hardware operating instructions, remote control operating instructions Depending on the version of your product, package contents may vary. 2 Recommended System Requirements Your system must satisfy the following requirements in order for your PCTV 7010iX to function smoothly: Bus System PCI Express Rev. 3.0 Processor Pentium D with 3.0 GHz or equivalent AMD Athlon 4800 Working memory 512 MB RAM Hard disk U-DMA hard disk with 20 GB free disk space Graphics card DirectX 9-compatible graphics card Sound card DirectX 9-compatible sound card CD-/DVD burner Operating system Windows XP (Home Edition, Professional Edition or Media Center Edition 2005) with the latest Service Pack 3 For Your Own Safety If you purchased your PCTV 7010iX together with a PC and it is already installed, skip the next few chapters and continue with the chapter "Connecting the Equipment". In the interest of your own safety and the flawless functioning of your new PCTV 7010iX and computer system, note the following: Computer components are sensitive to static charge. Divert any electrostatic charge from your body 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. 4 Hardware Installation Preparing Installation The only tool you need for the installation is a screwdriver. Divert any possible electrostatic charge from your body by touching the casing of your PC. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and all necessary components. Loosen the computer cover screws and remove the cover. Select a free PCI Express slot. Remove the slot cover at the back of the computer. Make sure to keep the screws in a safe place. 5 Using PCTV 7010iX Hardware Insert the card into the PCI Express slot. To do so, hold the card at the top and push it down into the slot while applying even pressure at both ends. Press down on the upper edge so that the card fits firmly in the slot. If you cannot easily insert the card into the slot, do not use force since this may bend the contact springs on the socket connector. Instead, remove the card and try to insert it again. After Installation After you have inserted the hardware, tighten the card retaining bracket firmly on the back of the computer. Now place the cover onto your computer and connect the peripheral devices. 6 Connecting the Equipment to motherboard from PC power switch for autowake up (internal, optional) Audio input (internal, optional) Audio output to soundcard (internal, optional) Composite Video or S-Video input (internal, optional) SAT antenna input 2 Remote control receiver Terrestrial antenna with optional antenna power supply for active antennas or cable connection (TV/radio) 1 Input: S-video or composite and audio (with adapter) SAT antenna input 1 Terrestrial antenna or cable connection (TV/radio) 2 7 Tips on DVB-T reception For optimal digital terrestrial TV reception please observe the following instructions: Connect to a roof antenna if one is available. If you wish to use the indoor antenna, it should be located as near as possible to a window. Wherever possible, place the antenna in the direction of the nearest transmitter. Try to position any indoor antenna as high as possible (for example, on top of a cupboard). An indoor antenna should not be located near a computer monitor, television or the like. Make certain to have the proper polarization if you use an active flat antenna (if you are not certain, you can find out whether the antenna should have a transverse or upright position by trial and error). For active antennas without a separate power supply, please use the Antenna input 1 and activate the antenna power supply. Only double-shielded antenna cable should be used. 8 Technical Data Bus System PCI Express Rev. 3.0 Video Decoder / Analog Demodulator / PCI Express Controller Philips SAA7162 Analog TV / DVB-T Tuner 2 x Philips TDA 8275A Frequency range: 45.75 ­ 863.25 MHz.
