data is not sufficient, you may see a blank screen or the video will be 
scrambled.

No Video:

 In order to decode DVB-T MPEG-2 file format, you have to 

install the Ulead PhotoExplore 8.5 SE on the installation CD for decoding. 

7. 

No Audio:

 Check the Mute and Volume settings in the 

Windows 

Volume 

Control dialog. (Double-click on the speaker icon in the system tray.) Check 
the Mute and Volume settings in the 

ComproDTV 

Volume Control dialog. 

8. 

Can’t Remote:

 Verify that the 

  icon (ComproRemoteDTV) is in the 

system tray on the lower-right corner of the screen. If you don't have it on 
the system tray, start the following program manually: 

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VideoMate\ComproRemoteDTV.exe 

Then you should see the icon on the system tray. The IR icon should turn 
brighter when you press buttons on the remote. If you see no response, 
your IR drivers may not be not properly installed. Please remove 
ComproDTV using "Add/Remove programs" in the Control Panel and 
reinstall it.   

9. 

Can’t record:

 ComproDTV needs to use components of Ulead 

PhotoExplore 8.0 SE on the installation CD. If your computer doesn’t have 
PhotoExplore, ComproDTV will fail to record. Please install Ulead 
PhotoExplore 8.0 SE. 

10. 

Playback lags:

 It’s possible that signal is not strong enough. Please verify 

it as above step. While receiving HDTV programs, VideoMate DVB-U2200 
needs full speed USB 2.0 bandwidth to transfer data. Please check if other 
devices occupy the bandwidth, especially the hard disk usage.
