TV Tuner User’s Guide
This user’s guide contains information on connecting the TV Tuner and using the related
applications on your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. We strongly recommend that you read this
guide before using the TV tuner.
Depending upon which application you employ, you can use the notebook to play media
whether the notebook is booted up or not. If the notebook is not booted up (pre-boot) you can
use Instant MyMedia. If the notebook is booted up (post-boot), you can use WinDVR,
WinDVD, or Microsoft Media Player. The following table illustrates the capabilities of the
applications.
TV TUNER APPLICATIONS
• Before proceeding with the TV tuner connection, you should install WinDVR
from the TV Tuner Application Disc included with the notebook.
• This manual deals primarily with using Instant MyMedia with the TV Tuner.
For
detailed information about the WinDVD and WinDVR applications, please see
the associated Help files by opening the application, right-clicking on the
application screen, then selecting Help from the dropdown menu.
Note that the
WinDVD and WinDVR manuals are written generically, and some features may
not apply to your TV Tuner.
