Quick Start Guide
Owners are encouraged to read through this manual to get familiar with their
CaptiveWorks Linux Media Center.
Here is a quick start guide for those who simpl must dive in immediatel .
1. Connect the receiver to our TV.
Onl use 1 video connection between the Media Center and the TV. The CW-3000HD
and CW-4000HD are onl capable of displa ing on 1 device at a time. Shutdown the
Media Center before changing the video connection.
Analog audio is connected to the middle green 1/8" minijack on the back panel. Digital
audio connection is via the RCA connector. You ma connect these simultaneousl .
2. Connect the Satellite and or Antenna connections.
Satellite and ATSC tuner s stem:
Connect the satellite cable to the upper connector of the vertical connector pair.
Connect an antenna to the ATSC connector. It is the single connector.
Dual satellite tuner s stem:
To full utilize all the functions of the CW-3000HD Dual DVB s stem ou need to
have 2 satellite cables connected to the unit. Both cables need to contain
identical feeds.(ie. You need a dual output LNB with 2 separate lines) The upper
connector in each vertical pair should be connected. For a single cable
connection ou should connect the upper connector on the vertical pair closest
to the edge of the unit.
3. Connect the network connection.
4. Start the s stem. The first screen ou will see is the adapter settings screen. It is
important that ou disable an adapters that do not have an antenna connection.
Failure to do so will result in erratic channel changes.
5. The second screen will be the displa settings screen. IT IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU SET THESE SETTINGS CORRECTLY. Incorrect settings here
ma cause ou to not be able to view an thing but a black screen!.This setting also
chooses a video calibration setting that is tailored for the output that ou use.
Changing the displa connection requires changing this setting to get the correct
displa calibration.
