Detailed installation instructions
Step 1: Install the WinTV-HVR board in your Media Center PC and
connect the cables
Turn the power off on your PC.
Install the WinTV-HVR-1600 into a
PCI slot. Install the WinTV-HVR-
1800 into a PCI Express x1 slot. On
some PC's, the WinTV needs to be
plugged into the first or second PCI
slot.
Plug your TV antenna or cable TV
cable into the TV Connector. Skip
to step 2.
If you are using a cable TV or
satellite TV set top box, connect
it to the WinTV-HVR through either S-
Video or Composite connector on the
WinTV board, or connect a coax
cable from the RF Out on your set
top box to the TV input on the
WinTV board. Media Center will auto-
matically detect which method you
are using to connect the WinTV to the
set top box.
Audio and video from an external A/V device (satellite TV receiver, cable TV box,
VCR, camcorder, camera, DVD player) can be brought into the WinTV-PVR via the
back panel connectors. If your A/V device uses S-Video, connect to the S-Video
input on the WinTV board. If your video device uses composite video instead of S-
Video, use the yellow RCA jack.
Audio input from an external A/V device can be brought into the WinTV board via
the white and red audio input jacks.
