The hardware and connections of the Cinergy HT PCI. 1. IR receiver input Antenna input Connect the TV antenna input (1) to your roof or indoor antenna. Check which signal is going to the TV card (for more information, see "Providing a radio signal"). Connect the antenna directly to the card. Video/audio inputs Use the video inputs for S-video (3) or composite (2) when digitizing analog video sources. To record sound as well, connect the audio sources to the stereo audio input (4). Alternatively, you may also use the card's internal connectors for the video sources if your PC has a suitable connector panel. When the dialog asks if you want to establish a connection to Windows Update, select "No, not this time". If you are not prompted to establish a connection, this would indicate that you do not have Service Pack 2 installed on your system. In the next step, select "Install the software automatically (recommended)" and click "Next" to install the drivers. Once the setup wizard has found the drivers on the installation & software CD-ROM, Windows might display a message indicating that the drivers have not passed the Windows logo test. It is safe to ignore this information and continue the installation by clicking "Continue anyway". Click "Finish" to complete the installation once the driver files have been copied. Windows will now display another message bubble to indicate that the Cinergy HT PCI has been installed successfully. Continue installing the software at this point. The installation was completed successfully. To be sure, open the Device Manager (Start Settings Control Panel System Hardware tab Device Manager) and expand the "Sound, video and game controllers" entry (click the + sign). If the entry "Cinergy HT PCI" exists and is not marked with a yellow exclamation point, then the installation was successful. 10 ENGLISH Cinergy HT PCI Hardware Connecting the antenna Connect the antenna or antenna cable to the antenna input of the TV card (at the far left).
