Usage Precautions
Please read the following usage precautions before using the TViX HD.
Make sure the power is off when you connect the A/V cable between the TViX and the TV.
When cleaning the TViX HD product, pull out the power cord and wipe it with a dry piece of soft cloth.
When connected to the computer through the USB cable the TViX HD acts as an external USB
storage device (In this state there is no video/audio output and the VFD will show as USB ON.) For
normal TViX HD play mode, disconnect the USB cable connected to the computer and turn on the
TViX HD.
When the TViX HD is playing and the USB is connected to the computer, the center of the screen
will show a USB ON icon. Disconnecting the USB port will show the original TViX HD screen.
Make sure the jumper setting of the hard disk that is installed on the TViX HD is set to Single Master.
Otherwise the hard disk will not be recognized by TViX HD.
When you detach the HDD, please let the heat out sufficiently.
We recommend using the supplied cables and accessories for they are customized for the best
performance of the TViX HD. Using other cables or accessories may not give the best performance.
If you want to unplug the device, press the Stop button in 'Unplug or Eject Hardware'.
Windows 98SE and Windows ME does not support NTFS file format. However, NTFS file format is
available in Windows 2000/XP. If you want to create two or more partitions with one hard disk drive,
“Primary Partition” is recommended.
If you choose FAT32 file format on Windows 2000/XP, the drives maximum size will be limited to 32GBs. If
you want to use a single drive letter of 32GBs or more, you have to format on Windows 98SE/ME.
The certificated sticker is on the bottom of the TViX HD

1 Introduction
1.1 Multimedia Player
TViX HD is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player which 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 HD plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can
create your own virtual DVD library by storing your own private 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 HD 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
HDV™ camcorder can be played back with the TViX HD on a high definition display. The
TViX HD features a DVI connector and component, which will match the high resolution of
HD level video contents.
Using the latest EM8621 processor, TViX HD supports the latest multimedia formats
(WMV9 & WMV HD) as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 and 5.0.
Using the high definition DVI output, you can directly connect the TViX HD to your HDTV.
TViX HD supports DTS hardware decoder to mix down DTS sound into 2 channels for a
more dynamic sound quality.
The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able
to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD’s network and play the file from its original
destination without having to copy it onto the TViX HD first.
With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives to
further extend the storage capacity or transfer files from another USB device such as a
thumb drive. You can also playback files from a digital camera, USB flash driver, USB flash
card reader, or a MP3 player.
You can play HDTV without a digital TV set-top box and use the play/pause and recording
functions. (An optional HD Tuner box will be provided with the TViX HD in the future)
5

1.2 Audio Player
TViX HD can play a variety of audio files such as MP3, Ogg Vorbis or WMA (Windows Media Audio)
through the TV speaker or any other audio systems. You can listen to your favorite music files continuously,
by organizing a custom play list. Now you can enjoy music all day without changing CDs.
Watch picture slideshows with the option of background music (supports music slideshows using picture
images).
1.3 External Storage
Supports
If you connect to a USB 1.1 port, the TViX HD will work at USB 1.1 speed, so we strongly recommend that
you use USB 2.0.
Supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0. It can be used as an external device to save video, audio, image
files, work data, program backup, etc.
USB 2.0 enables TViX HD to become an external storage device which supports up to 480Mbps.
Supports Plug & Play, so Windows will recognize TViX HD automatically.
When playing the TViX HD, if you connect the USB port, the VFD will show as USB ON. When you
disconnect the USB, you don’t need to reboot the TViX HD for continuous usage.
If you are a Windows98SE user, you should download a USB storage driver from our web site
www.tvix.co.kr before you connect your TViX HD with your system. You do not need to install a driver in
Windows ME/2000/XP.
