Note
If the computer cannot be turned on, verify the position of the power patch
cable on the mainboard. Consult the mainboard documentation to determine
the position of the ATX power switch connector..
Power Up will start your computer 5 minutes in advance of the scheduled
recording time, for example, if you have set ComproDTV to record a program
at 4 o’clock, it will start your computer at 3:55. Therefore, you need to shut
down the computer before 3:54 in order to let Power Up start the computer.
Power Up from Windows Shutdown mode, i.e., ACPI S5
state, requires:
• An ATX power supply in your PC.
• Motherboard support for PCI version 2.2 in order to
have 3.3V standby power.
• An ATX power switch cable, which is a pair of
twisted wires with a two-wire connector, as shown to
the right.
If you don't have the above items, you can still use Power-Up Scheduling with
Windows Stand by mode, i.e., ACPI S3 state, if your system supports it.
If your ATX power switch cable in your PC case cannot reach the TV Tuner
card Power Up socket, you cannot use the Power Up function with system
shutdown mode. You can try moving the card to another PCI socket.
You can use VideoMate DVB-T300/T200 without using Power Up Scheduling.
If you don’t want to use Power Up Scheduling from the Windows Shut down
state, you can skip the power switch circuit connections.
The ATX power switch cable is not polarized. You can plug it in either
direction.
If your computer cannot boot up after plugging in VideoMate DVB-T300 PCI
Tuner card, switch the blue jumper from JX13 to JX12 in order to solve this
problem. After doing so, you have to switch the red jumper JX8 to 2-3 (default
is 1-2, left) and this disables the Remote Power On/Off function.
If your computer cannot boot up after plugging in VideoMate DVB-T200 PCI
Tuner card, switch the blue jumper from J8 to JX1 in order to solve this
problem. After doing so, you have to switch the red jumper J10 to 2-3 (default
is 1-2, left) and this disables the Remote Power On/Off function.
