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.
