Operating Basics

TV Tuner (optional)

Some models in this series are equipped with a built-in TV Tuner that

allows you to watch TV programs on the built-in LCD and to record them.
If you have Windows XP Home Edition installed, use the WinDVR program

to display TV programs on the built-in LCD and record them. It is also

possible to edit recorded programs and save them on a DVD.
If you have Windows XP Media Center Edition isntalled, use the My TV

feature contained in Media Center.

Using the TV Tuner

Antenna

The quality of sounds and pictures greatly depends on the radio

propagation conditions.

When you use your computer in areas where the radio waves are

weak, which results in poor radio receiving conditions, contact the

dealer you purchased it from, or use a commercially available

antenna booster. Please refer to the manual provided with the

booster for details.

Connecting the Cable

Use the antenna adaptor that comes with the product to connect the

antenna to your computer.

Connecting the antenna adaptor

1. Save data, shutdown Windows and turn off the power.

According to government regulations, it is not permitted to bring

PAL/SECAM TV tuners into Korea

When lightning occurs, do not touch the antenna line. This may cause an

electric shock.

If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm and are

connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you should operate your

computer using AC power mode. The AC adaptor offers some protection

against (but does not entirely prevent) possible electric shock caused by

lightning. For complete protection, do not operate your computer during a

thunderstorm.
