10 Cinergy TV Hardware (English)
Installing hardware and drivers.
The subsequent sections provide step-by-step instructions on installing and connecting the
card and installing its drivers. The antenna cables needed for TV/radio reception* (*Cinergy
250 PCI / Cinergy 600 TV Radio only) are not included.
Installing the TV card.
1. Switch off your PC and all connected peripheral devices such as your printer and monitor.
Leave the AC power cable connected for the time being, so that your computer is still
grounded.
2. Touch the metal chassis at the rear of the PC to ground and to discharge static. Now un-
plug the cord from the AC socket.
3. Remove the cover from the case of your PC.
4. Look for a free PCI expansion slot. When selecting the PCI slot, note that TV cards should
not be plugged into PCI slot 1 in conjunction with an AGP graphics card because PCI slot 1
very frequently is assigned the same interrupt as the AGP slot. This would give both cards
the same interrupt, which can lead to crashes during operation! The numbers assigned to
the PCI slots are listed in your motherboard manual.
5. Carefully remove the card from its packaging and pick it up by the edges with one hand
while your other hand is touching a metal part of the PC. This will ensure that your body is
completely discharged via your computer without damaging the TV card.
6. Align the holder at the rear of the TV card in the expansion slot in such a way that the
card’s connectors are directly in line with the slot’s socket.
7. Push the TV card firmly into the slot, ensuring good contact.
8. Fasten the TV card with an appropriate screw.
9. If a sound card is installed, connect the TV card to it using the supplied cinch/cinch cable.
Plug one end into the audio output of the TV card (light green socket) and the other end
into the Line-In terminal on the sound card (usually a light blue socket).
If you connect the TV card to the sound card, be sure to read the section on “Important set-
tings for sound card owners.” on page 17!
10. Reinstall the cover of your PC case.
11. Connect the TV antenna output of your household antenna or cable connection to the TV
input of the TV card. If you own a TerraTec Cinergy 250 PCI / Cinergy 600 TV Radio, connect
a second antenna cable to the radio output of your household antenna or cable connec-
tion and the radio input of your TV card.
12. Reconnect the AC power cable as well as all other cables. Make sure that your speakers
are set to low volume.
13. Switch your computer on again to begin installing the drivers. The following section con-
tains information on the driver installation.
