Antenna connection
Hook up the antenna input of PCTV 50e/100e to your house antenna (coaxial
connection) or to your cable connection.
To connect the antenna, you need the corresponding cable. Note that the
quality of the cable has a great influence on the quality of the reception.
PC connection
Insert the USB connector of PCTV 50e/100e into your PC.
Use only the USB cable included in the delivery.
Video device connection
Connect your video source (for example, a camcorder, video recorder or
DVD player) to the audio input and to the corresponding video input of
PCTV 50e/100e. You can use any video device that delivers an S-video signal or
a composite video signal in PAL, NTSC or SECAM (for example, a video
recorder, camcorder or DVD player). This is independent of the video system
used (for example, VHS, S-VHS, Hi8 or Video 8).
Note that, depending on the product variant, not all video standards (PAL,
NTSC or SECAM) are available.
If your video source has a S-video output, connect this and not the
composite video output to ensure better output quality.
