The program offers a full range of video, photo, music, and TV viewing/recording functionalities. Best of all, anyone can use it. While packing a punch feature-wise, it's also designed for fast and simple use, either with your keyboard/mouse or remote control. Sit back, relax, and do it all with MediaTV PVR! GETTING STARTED Install your hardware and software as detailed in the Hardware Quick Guide included with your product. With your TV Tuner installed, launch MediaTV PVR. Select TV. When running the software for the first time, you will receive the following prompt. TV MODULE Here you can watch TV and record your favorite shows using a fully customizable recording scheduler. Once the MediaTV PVR has scanned for available channels, just grab your remote control and start surfing! You can also use the floating toolbar at the bottom of the screen to change channels and adjust volume. FULL SCREEN MODE Select the "Full Screen" button to expand the viewing window to cover the entire display. CHANNEL PREVIEWING Select the "Channels" to view an index of multiple channels at once. Each channel will be displayed as a thumbnail. Browse your options, and select the channel you want. TIMESHIFTING To enable features like the pause and rewind of live TV, from the TV module click Settings, and then toggle the checkbox to Enable Time Shifting. This allows the MediaTV PVR to begin storing video on your hard disk. MUSIC MODULE With MediaTV PVR, you can design your own playlists, rip music from CDs, and build your own CD compilations. Your music can be assorted into a variety of ways (genre, album, artist, etc.). PLAYLISTS Select "My Playlists" to view/create your playlists. Playlists are simply collections of songs that you organize under one file. You're free to edit them at anytime, export tracks to connected devices, burn songs to disc, etc. Create playlists for special occasions or simply to have comprehensive lists organized by genre, artist, etc. You have complete control over what each playlist contains. RIPPING MUSIC CDs Rip your audio CDs directly to your computer so you can mix-and-match tracks into your custom playlists. After selecting the tracks on the CD you want to rip, you can choose the quality of the ripped files. Better quality files equate to larger files. Depending on your version of the program, you may be able to rip tracks to WMA format. You can also choose the folder to which the files will be stored. MAKING AUDIO DISCS Choose "Burn to Disc" from the main Music screen if you'd like to copy audio files from your computer to disc. You can create either standard audio discs, or WMA discs. Simply choose the tracks you want, being mindful not to exceed the maximum disc capacity. VIDEO MODULE MediaTV PVR gives you everything you need to view and edit your home movies. Navigate to the folder that contains the video you'd like to see. As you select a file from the list, you'll notice that you can trim, rename, or delete the file. Trimming videos here works the same as trimming recorded TV shows. CAPTURING VIDEO MediaTV PVR makes it easy to capture video from connected cameras/devices by providing easy-to-follow instructions. A diagram shows you how to connect your equipment if you need help. Once you advance to the Capture screen, you can enter in a name for your captured file and set the capture duration. After the time you set expires, the program will stop recording and save your file. A checkbox lets you choose to automatically create a video disc with the newly captured video. PICTURES MODULE MediaTV PVR lets you view your photos through a full screen slide show, complete with special effects and a custom soundtrack. You can also edit photos, burn them to disc and more. The top of the screen tells you the name of the current working directory (the directory containing the photos that you currently see.) Select the up arrow button to choose a different folder. Choose "Play" to view a slide show of the pictures in the current directory. Choose "Settings" to view and edit the options for the slide show. You can set the display time for photos, select a transition effect, and add music files that play during the presentation. Select "Print" to print either individual or multiple photos/pages. You can set the photo size, paper size, and number of copies. You can preview each page before you print. Select "Burn to Disc" to archive selected photos to disc. You can burn the photos only, or you can burn a slide show of the files as well (you can also burn only a slide show without archiving the files) EDITING PHOTOS Choose "Edit" to go to the Photo Editor. It contains a variety of easy to use commands: Rotate - Rotate your photo 90 degrees to the left or right. Zoom - Make the photo larger or smaller on the screen. Also, pan to other areas not currently onscreen. Auto Enhance - Choose from three versions of your photo, each with various brightness and color adjustments. Red-eye Removal - Focus on red-eye and el...
