Welcome to EyeTV!

Thank you for purchasing EyeTV 200. This guide

is designed to get you up and running with

EyeTV. You will be watching and recording

high-quality television shortly.

Open and Unpack Box

Your EyeTV 200 box should contain the

following items:

EyeTV 200 hardware

EyeTV software and PDF product manual

on CD-ROM

FireWire cable

Remote control

2 AAA batteries

Attach EyeTV 200 to a Video Source

Your EyeTV 200 can be attached to many

different video sources. Choose from one of the

following:

1. EyeTV 200 can pick up broadcasts via an

antenna:

•

Run a coaxial cable from your antenna to the

ANT.IN port on the EyeTV 200.

2. EyeTV 200 can be directly connected to a

cable line, to receive basic (unscrambled/

non-encrypted analog) cable:

Run a coaxial cable from your cable TV port to

the ANT.IN port on the EyeTV 200.

3. EyeTV 200 can be connected to a cable box

or satellite receiver in two ways:

If your cable box/satellite receiver has audio

and video output connectors, attach a stereo

audio cable (usually colored red & white) from

your equipment's audio outputs to the audio

inputs on the EyeTV 200 (labeled L AUDIO R).

Connect a yellow composite video cable

between the cable box/satellite receiver's

video output and the video input on the EyeTV

200. For improved picture quality, use an

S-Video cable instead of the composite cable.

If your cable box/satellite receiver has a RF

output, connect a coaxial cable from the cable

box/satellite receiver's output to the ANT.IN

port on the EyeTV 200. EyeTV will pick up the

signal, usually on channel 3 or 4.

Quick Start Guide

Once setup is complete, you can view television

or content from another video source via the

live TV window. Switch between the tuner

input and the S-Video and A/V inputs via the

Controls menu.

Use the on-screen remote control to pause or

skip through video, or to start a manual

recording. Refer to the user's guide for more

details on the Internet programming guide and

scheduling automated recordings.

NOTE: Both of these methods require that

you change channels using your cable

box/satellite receiver remote control. The

EyeTV 200 does not directly communicate

with cable boxes or satellite receivers.

4. EyeTV 200 can be connected to many other

video devices, such as a VCR, DVD player or

camcorder:

Attach a stereo audio cable from your device's

audio outputs to the audio inputs on the EyeTV

200 (labeled L AUDIO R). Connect another cable

between the device's video output and the video

input on the EyeTV 200. For improved picture

quality, use the S-Video connectors.

Attach EyeTV 200 to your Macintosh

Connect one end of the FireWire cable to one of

the FireWire ports on your EyeTV.

Connect the other end of the cable to a FireWire

port on your Macintosh.

Power on EyeTV 200

The EyeTV 200 receives power over the FireWire

cable. A DC-12V power adapter is optional.

Do not daisy-chain other bus-powered FireWire

devices to the EyeTV 200.

Install the provided AAA batteries into the

remote control.

Install EyeTV Software

Insert the EyeTV CD-ROM.

Drag the EyeTV application to the Applications

folder on your hard disk.

Start using EyeTV

Launch the EyeTV software.

automatically. Please follow the on-screen

During this process, you will be asked to select

your country. EyeTV needs this information to

properly tune to your channels. Generally, EyeTV

will be able to automatically detect all the

stations available in your area.

We hope you en
