1.1 TViX PVR Function
The TVIX PVR can play HDTV without a digital TV set-top box with excellent
and super-clear display on HDTV screens. The TViX PVR supports standard
DTV features, such as EPG and Time-shifting.
DVICO Inc has no responsibility for recorded programs or files made or distributed for
purposes of illegal, commercial, or transactional activities. The party or parties who record
or distribute the contents bear all responsibility (Civil or Criminal) direct or indirect.
1.2 Multimedia Player Function
The TViX is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player that plays digital
videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD files to a TV display and
home entertainment system. You can enjoy digital contents in your living
room without having to burn discs or having to play it back on a DVD or
CD player anymore.
TViX plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can
create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal collection of DVDs in
.ISO or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if they were running from the original
DVDs (all original features included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast
Forward, Rewind, Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.).
TViX plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080i) and still images. Pre-
recorded HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video
contents taken by a camcorder can be played back with the TViX on a high
definition display. The TViX features a HDMI connector, which will match the high
resolution of HD level video contents.
HDMI provides unparalleled qualities to digital video and audio, while DVI only
serves digital video. You don’t have to mess around with several AV cables. It
provides single, pure and simple way to connect your display. It can deliver
uncompressed digital video up to 1080i as well as digital audio.
TViX supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more
dynamic sound quality.
The TViX can be networked with a PC system using its optional wireless network.
You are able to navigate to a PC file through TViX’s wireless network and play the
file from its original destination without having to copy it into the TViX first. FTP is
supporting the file copy via LAN.
With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives
to further extend the storage capacity. You can also playback files from a digital
camera, USB flash driver, USB flash card reader or a MP3 player.

1. Introduction
English
Time shifting is the recording of programming to a storage medium to be
viewed or listened to at a time more convenient to the consumer. Being
interrupted while watching live TV programs (such as pick up phone calls &
answer the door), all you need to do is simply press the OK button to freeze
the picture for a period of time and then later press OK again to pick up right
where you left off. Note: You cannot use the DTV time-shifting on FAT32
partitions, so we recommend that you format your 2.5” SATA HDD to NTFS.
The TViX PVR has various recording features, including direct recording,
scheduled recording, and repeated manual recording, to enable the user not
to miss a single program of digital TV. It's a completely different type of PVR
since you can easily upgrade and expand the HDD capacity yourself, similar to
PC upgrading. And you can back up the recorded file to/from the PC. Also, it
can capture external analog video as well as analog TV signals.
The TViX PVR implements DTV features such as EPG-scheduled recording
and PC-connectivity to let the user enjoy all the fruits of digital broadcasting
as well as supreme audio and video qualities. You can set up scheduled
recording and scheduled watch using the EPG window. Note: The EPG is not
supported in analog TV or external input (A/V-in) modes.
When using the DTV mode, you can easily configure the sleep time with the
FUNCTION key. If the sleep time is reached when a recording is in progress,
the TViX will shut down after finishing the recording. In the file list mode, the
FUNCTION key performs the File copy/delete and password functions.

each output needs to be selected in the settings menu depending on the cable used.

the included Composite (yellow) video
cable. Select an appropriate video input
mode on your TV until you get the main
page of the TViX
For the Audio, please connect the stereo
cable (red/White cable).

terminal of your TV or Hi - Fi system for
sound output.
If you have a multi-channel decoder/
amplifier with an optical input, you can
enjoy 5.1 CH high-quality sound through
the optical cables.
The illustration above shows how to connect
the optical cable with included optical jack.
(These cables are not included in the
package and must be purchased separately.)
If there is no sound after connecting the coaxial/Optical Cable, you have to change the
audio setup of TViX to Digital on the SETUP menu.

The TViX R2200 series also functions as a personal video recorder or
archiving machine, allowing you to capture analog video and store
it as a digital format. It can capture or time-shift the external analog
video as well as analog TV signal, and then record it in superb high-
quality digital format.
Connect the output of the external device to the dongle cables
included. Then connect this dongle cable to the TViX A/V IN port. Do
not connect this cable by force or you can damage the TViX unit.
You should configure the external device’s A/V output to NTSC(480i)/
PAL(576i) and analog sound.

without any other devices.
After connecting the client device, press the left-arrow button on your

and install properly.
