Troubleshooting: The Remote Control is not working
104
The Remote Control is not working
Check that the Infrared Remote Sensor cable is firmly seated in the socket on
the Digital VCR card.
Check the batteries in the remote control; replace them with fresh AAA 1.5-
volt batteries to be certain. Both batteries need to be firmly seated inside the
remote control, and they need to be oriented as shown on the inside of the
battery compartment.
Make sure that the Infrared Remote Sensor is not blocked by other compo-
nents of your PC. Reposition it if necessary.
Nothing happens when the remote control Menu button is pressed.
Check the Task Bar to be certain that the Digital VCR icon is there. If the
application is not available, it is possible that the option to automatically start
the Digital VCR application was not selected during setup. Launch the Setup
Wizard (DVSetup.exe). Go the Program Options page. There is a check box
for the option Automatically start Digital VCR. Click this check box to enable
the option. Save the new Settings and exit the Setup Wizard.
The Windows desktop cannot be seen when Digital VCR is running.
To watch TV in a window, double click the live TV picture. To return to full
screen viewing, double-click the live picture again.
During setup, the default screen size can be specified. Launch the Setup Wiz-
ard (DVSetup.exe). Go the Program Options page. There is a section for
Graphic Options. Click the Change Display Resolution check box to enable
the feature. Then, select a default window size from the Screen Size pop-up
box. You can also specify a location on the desktop where the window should
be placed by typing in coordinates in the X/Y boxes.
When the Digital VCR application is running, display size settings can be
changed from the Main Menu. These settings will be remembered when to put
the Digital VCR in Standby mode, and after you quit and launch the applica-
tion again. To change the display size, press the Main Menu button. In the
Main Menu, select Options. Then, select Display from the menu. Choose one
of the options for display size; your display size will be changed immediately.
Display Size can also be changed from the Display Windows, click on
Options, then click on Display Size. Choose one of the options for display
size.
The Setup Wizard will not allow the recording space size to be edited after the initial
installation.
In order to manage the free space on your hard drive, the recording space
parameter can be adjusted from within Digital VCR. From the Main Menu,
select Options, then Storage.
You can delete the default MPG folder to allow the creation of a new one. By
deleting, you will lose any recorded program files that are in the MPG folder.
Back these files up if you want to keep them.
If you need additional recording space, you can designate a different folder
and/or a different hard disk as the default recording folder. This is done from
the Setup Wizard (DVSetup.exe). Launch the Setup Wizard. Go the Storage
Options page. Edit the Directory Path directly or click the Browse button to
select a new folder and/or hard drive from the Windows dialog box by navigat-
ing directly to the location.
