Formatting the HDD
Formatting on a
PC (Win2000/XP)
Use the Disk Management
Utility
•Right click on “My
Computer” and choose
“Manage”
•Select “Disk Management”
•Choose the drive you want
to format and right click on
the Disk or drive field for
further commands
•Create a primary NTFS
partition and format it
•Follow the Wizard
instructions
You can also format TVisto using FAT32 but this will have the limitation of max disk being
32GB and max file size being 4GB. Note: To be able to use the TVisto on all Operating
Systems, you will need to use FAT32. To create one single disk over 32GB use the DOS
command prompt and the “fdisk” command on Win98/SE or WinME. You may also use
3rd party software to create the partition but make sure it is a primary partition.
Formatting on a Mac OS X
Use the Disk Utility to format
your drive and create a single
partition on your external disk.
•Select “Disk Utility” in the
utilities folder
•Choose your external
drive and format it
according to your
requirement. For Mac only,
choose “Mac OS
Extended”
Be aware that formatting the
drive will erase all data on it!
NOTE: To be able to use the TVisto on all Operating Systems, you will need to use
FAT32, also called MS-DOS on the Mac OS (max file size limited to 1GB!). To create one
single primary partition over 32GB for files up to 4GB, use the DOS command prompt
and the “fdisk” command on Win98/SE or WinME.

■
5
Creating the Directories
For TVisto to be able to find the files on the hard drive, four (4) folders with the exact name
shown below must be created first! ALL the prerequisite folders should have the READ
ONLY attribute and should never be deleted or renamed, because your TVisto uses
these exact names as a reference to locate the respective files. Under these directories
you can have any directory structure that is convenient to you. Create the folders as shown
below, now.
“Firmware”: this folder
contains the TVisto
firmware files. Inside this
folder there are two (2)
subfolders:
•“Font,” for Europe and
US, this is an empty
directory.
•“Settings” contains the
“Settings.txt” file. This
file is a Unicode text
file with two strings.
The first line string is
the default TV mode
(PAL or NTSC) in
which TVisto should
start before the user
applies his settings.
The second line string
is the string used from
the TVisto screen saver. This string is user editable and should not be more than 16
characters. Create this file if required, otherwise leave the folder empty.
“Movies”: This folder contains your movie files.
“Music”: This folder contains your music files.
“Pictures”: This folder contains your image files.
If you need a directory to transfer your files from one computer to another, you may certainly
create more directories and name it whatever you like. These folders won’t affect TVisto but
will NOT show up on your TV screen!
Font Support
For additional font support other then English, we recommend copying the ‘Arial Unicode MS’
font to the “Font” folder located in the “Firmware” directory. On a PC, you can find this font by
going to Control Panel and then selecting Fonts. After copying the font to TVisto, rename the
file to “font.ttf”. Example: If the original is “arialuni.ttf,” rename it to “font.ttf”.
You may use any other Unicode true type font (TTF) you have or which is available on the
internet, but remember to rename the file to “font.ttf’ after copying it to TVisto.

■
6
PC/Mac Connection
TVisto automatically operates as an external USB 2.0
or Firewire hard disk when connected to a PC or
Macintosh. Use the included cables to connect your
device to the computer system. Always connect the
USB or Firewire cable to your computer first, before
you turn on the device. Your system will automatically
recognize TVisto as an external hard disk in which you
then can copy any file(s) you want (music, movie,
picture, and/or data). It is strongly recommended to
empty the “Recycle Bin” after your file(s) deletions
to free the HDD space.
TVisto supports all file formats: FAT32 (Windows 98SE,
Windows ME, Mac) NTFS (Windows 2000, Windows
XP), HFS+ (Mac). If your computer system does not have
a Firewire or USB 2.0 interface, but only USB 1.1, you will
receive a warning. You can still use the device with USB 1.1,
but with a slower performance level.
TVisto is an external USB 2.0/Firewire hard disk device that can be connected to a variety of
Operating Systems supporting the USB or Firewire interface:
•Win98SE (Install driver from CD first)
•Windows Me/2000/XP
•Mac OS9.2, OSX or higher
NOTE: You will always need the external power adapter when connected to the
computer. The ON/OFF switch is located at the rear of the unit. When connected to the
computer, the ON/OFF button on the front is not in use.
NOTE: Always connect the USB or Firewire cable to your computer first, before you turn
on the device.
“Firmware”: this is the folder in which you copy the latest TVisto firmware files found at your
vendor’s web site. Inside this folder, you may create two (2) subfolders:
•“Font” for your external Unicode true type font.
•“Settings” for the “Settings.txt” file, which includes your initial standard setting.
“Movies”: You will copy your favorite movie files to this folder.
“Music”: You will copy your favorite music files to this folder.
“Pictures”: You will copy your favorite image files to this folder.
NOTE: ALL the prerequisite folders listed above have the READ ONLY attribute and
should never be deleted or renamed because your TVisto uses these exact names as a
reference to locate the respective files. Under these directories you can have any directory
structure that is convenient to you.
If you need a directory to transfer your files from one computer to another, you may certainly
create more directories and name it whatever you like. These folders won’t affect TVisto but
will NOT show up on your TV screen!

Safe Removal
In order to safely remove your TVisto from your
system, please follow the same procedures as for
any external Plug & Play disk drive. Specifically:

TV Connection
TVisto provides high quality video and audio output when connected to your TV set and audio
system.
The TV connection is straightforward. Just connect TVisto to your TV set (NTSC or PAL) using
the included AV cable, plug in the power supply and turn it on.
When using the default AV Cable provided with TVisto, you have Composite video signal,
S-Video, and stereo (Left/Right) analog audio out connected to your TV set. If your TV does
not have Composite or S-Video, then use the optional SCART adapter to connect it to the
SCART port on your TV.
You have the choice to purchase the following optional cables (See page 21):
•AV Cable with Analog YPbPr video (progressive or interlaced) scalable up to
1920x1080i or 1280x720p
•AV Cable with full SCART (RGB) support
•VGA AV adaptor for VGA interface
•SPDIF optical audio cable
Both YPbPr and VGA video cables provide analog L/R audio. The VGA cable provides VGA
out scalable up to 1024x768.
TVisto offers the option for two kinds of audio connections, analog or digital. Each requires a
cable setup in which the following paragraphs will describe.

■
9
Analog Audio Setup
The simplest configuration is when
the analog audio system on your TV
set is used. In this case, no matter
what type of AV cable you use (the
default providing Composite/S-Video
signal, one of the optional cables
providing Video Component YPbPr,
or SCART), the analog audio is
provided to the stereo input of your
TV by the Left/Right RCA jacks.
This configuration uses only one AV
cable connected to the multi-
connector port on TVisto.
With this simple setup, you can get the highest video quality, but the audio quality remains the
stereo analog quality provided by the TV set speakers.
Digital Audio Setup
This configuration provides the best mix
of video and audio quality.
In this setup, you can connect any of the
available AV cables except the stereo
L/R RCA jacks to the TV set speakers.
Instead, you use the Digital Audio Port of
TVisto. Connect this port using the
SPDIF copper coaxial or the optional
optical audio cable to the digital input of
your Dolby Digital or DTS Hoopt atre
Receiver/Processor. Provided the quality
of this receiver and the correct setup of
the 5.1 Speaker System, you can
experience optimum multimedia quality in both audio and video.

•Digital for the Coaxial SPDIF digital audio (supports compressed Dolby Digital 5.1 and
DTS pass through).
Use the ▲▼ navigation buttons to select your audio setting and press the PLAY/ENTER
button to activate it. Press the HOME button on the remote to save the audio setting.
Selecting analog audio out will output the stereo audio to the L/R RCA jack from your AV
cable.
Selecting digital audio output will provide digital sound through its SPDIF Digital Audio Port.
In this case, you have to connect this port using the SPDIF copper coaxial or optical cable to
the digital input of your Dolby Digital or DTS Home Theatre Receiver/Processor in order to
take advantage of the high audio quality.
Background Image Customization
The background images seen on your TV can be customized! To do this, connect your
TVisto to the computer and create a new folder inside the Firmware folder called “img”.
Prepare your new background images and save them inside the “img” folder.
The files have to be saved as JPG, the dimension should be 720x480 with a DPI of 72. Name
them exactly as followed: Main.jpg, Movies.jpg, Music.jpg, Photos.jpg and Settings.jpg. If one
of these images is missing or not spelled exactly as seen above, none of the customized
images will appear on your TV screen! If you don’t like the new look, either change the
images or simply delete the folder, empty the trash bin and your original background images
will show up again.
