Check the settings that were chosen for the
Input Connector Selection
and
Tuner Input Selection
pages. The
Input Connector Selection
should be set
to Tuner Input if your are using the RF outputs from the cable TV box (a sin-
gle cable).
There is no picture using a satellite service.
If the satellite box offers S-Video outputs and you have connected an S-
Video cable from the satellite box to the Digital VCR card's S-Video input, the
Input Connection Selection should be set to S-Video Input. The Tuner Input
Selection should be set to Satellite Box.
If you are using the RF/Tuner input, it is important that the correct channel be
selected for communication with your satellite box. Most boxes use either
channel 3 or channel 4. The Tuner Input Selection page of the Setup Wizard
contains the settings for this parameter.
Check that the cable running from your satellite box is properly and securely
connected to the RF/Tuner Input on the Digital VCR card.
Make the connections as simple as possible. Remove any other equipment
connected between your satellite TV box and the input on your Digital VCR
card (such as a VCR, digital camera, game system, etc.).
During setup, you need to select the source of your TV signals. If the wrong

pages. The

if your are using the RF outputs from the satellite box (a single
cable).
There is no audio.
Check that the audio is not muted. Do this by pressing the Volume Up button
(right arrow) on the remote control. The screen will show the current volume
setting in increments of 5%.
When using the S-Video output from a device (cable box, satellite box, VCR,
etc.), you need to connect the audio outputs from the device to the audio
input jack on the Digital VCR card. Sound is then heard through your PC
sound system.
The audio is out of sync with the video signal.
If you have the audio outputs from your S-Video device connected to a sepa-
rate audio system, the video and audio signals may play back out of sync.
When using the S-Video output from a device, you need to connect the audio
outputs from the device to the audio input jack on the Digital VCR card.
Sound output is played through your PC sound system.
Using an external device, the picture is in black and white, not in color as expected.
In the Setup Wizard, there is a user parameter on the Video Input Selection
page that selects Composite or S-Video as the signal type coming from your
external device. If the wrong signal type is selected on the Video Input Selec-
tion page, the picture quality may be co mpromised. Check the settings in the
Setup Wizard by running DVSetup.exe again.
