FireWire digital video recorder
with high-quality video encoder and
analog NTSC TV tuner
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.
The EyeTV setup assistant will start
automatically. Please follow the on-screen
instructions.
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.
