Recommendations
To ensure there is ample power provided to the DTVP device, insert it directly into a USB port
on your notebook or desktop, as seen in Figure 1.3.Avoid connecting the DTVP to any
peripheral device(s) that may feature a USB port, such as a keyboard or USB-powered hub, as
seen in Figure 1.4.

Setup (Windows Environment)
1. Insert the DTVP into an available USB port on
your notebook or desktop and wait for Windows
to detect it.
•Windows XP users will receive a ‘Found New
Hardware’ notification as seen in Figure 2.1.
•Windows Vista/7 users will receive a device
driver notification as seen in Figure 2.2.
Once the new hardware detection is complete,
Windows will prompt you to begin the initialization
process.
•Windows XP users can skip step 2 and go to
page 6 – Device Initialization.
•Windows Vista/7 users will see an AutoPlay
window similar to the one in Figure 2.3.
2. Select the option ‘Run DTVP_Launcher.exe’.
If Windows does not AutoPlay, you can browse to
the CD-ROM partition (Figure 2.4) and manually
execute the DTVP_Launcher program. This will also
start the initialization process.

3. Create a password to protect your data on the DTVP. Enter it in the ‘Password’ field, then
re-enter it in the ‘Password Confirmation’ field, as seen below in Figure 3.3. The password
you create must meet the following criteria before the initialization process will allow you to
continue:
1. Passwords must contain 6 characters or more (up to 16 characters.)
2. Passwords must contain three (3) of the following criteria options:
- UPPER CASE, lower case, numeric, and/or special characters (!, $, etc.)
You may also enter a password hint, but it is not a mandatory field. The hint field can be
useful in providing a clue as to what the password is, should the password ever be
forgotten. (Note: The hint CANNOT be an exact match to the password.)
