Cinergy Digital 2 (English) 

 

 

Cinergy Digital 2 software 

…is your control center for digital television. The full range of functions and features—channel 
selection, timeshifting, recording and teletext—of your new TV hardware are united in the 

Cinergy Digital 2 software

. It must be installed before you can get started, however. 

Installation. 

To install the 

Cinergy Digital 2

 software, select the appropriate item on the autostart menu of 

the included CD-ROM. If the autostart menu does not open automatically when you insert the 
software& installation CD, go to the CD-ROM drive and launch the 

autorun.exe

 file. 

Note: we are continuously improving the Cinergy Digital 2 software, so please check our 

website from time to time for new versions featuring improved or extended functionality. 

The current version of the Cinergy Digital 2 software is available at 

http://www.terratec.com/.

 

Once you have downloaded the file, double-click it to start 

the installation. 

The language selected for the installation will also be used in the 

Cinergy Digital 2 

application. 

It can be changed at any time, however. The Cinergy Digital 2 icon will be present on your 
desktop if you accepted the defaults during the installation.
