Make sure the power is off when you connect the A/V cable between the TViX and the TV.
When cleaning the TViX product, pull out the power cord and then wipe it with a soft piece of dry cloth.
When connected to the computer through the USB cable the TViX HD acts as an external USB storage
device (In this state, there is no video/audio output and the VFD will show as USB ON). For normal TViX play
mode, disconnect the USB cable connected to the computer and turn on the TViX HD.
When the TViX HD is playing and the USB is connected to the computer, a USB ON icon will be displayed
on the center of the screen. Disconnecting the USB port will show the original screen.
Make sure the jumper setting of the hard disk which is installed on the TViX HD is set as Single Master.
Otherwise the hard disk will not be recognized by TViX HD.
When detaching the HDD, please let the heat out sufficiently.
The supplied cables and accessories are recommended for customized best performance of the TViX HD.
Using other cables or accessories may not provide best performance.

1 Introduction
1.1 Multimedia Player
TViX HD is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player which plays digital
videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD files to a TV display and
home entertainment system. You can enjoy digital contents in your living room
without having to burn discs or having to play it back on a DVD or CD player
anymore.
** For the further functions, please refer to following FAQ.
http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/faq
TViX HD plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can
create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal collection of DVDs in .ISO
or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if they were running from the original DVDs (all
original features included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind,
Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.).
TViX HD plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080i) and still images. Pre-recorded
HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video contents taken by a
HDV™ camcorder can be played back with the TViX HD on a high definition display. The
TViX HD features a DVI connector and component, which will match the high resolution of
HD level video contents.
Using the latest EM8621 processor, TViX HD supports the latest multimedia formats
(WMV9 & WMV HD) as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 and 5.0.
Using the high definition DVI output, you can directly connect the TViX HD to your HDTV.
TViX HD supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more
dynamic sound quality.
The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able
to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD’s network and play the file from its original
destination without having to copy it into the TViX first.
The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able
to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD’s network and play the file from its original
destination without having to copy it into the TViX first. We’re supporting the file copy via
LAN.
With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives to
further extend the storage capacity or transfer files from another USB device such as a
thumb drive. You can also playback files from a digital camera, USB flash driver, USB flash
card reader, or a MP3 player.

1.2 Audio Player
TViX HD can play a variety of audio files such as FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis or WMA (Windows Media
Audio) through the TV speaker and any other audio systems. You can listen to your favorite music files
nonstop, by organizing a custom winamp playlist. Now you can enjoy music all day without changing CDs.
You can watch picture slideshows with the option of background music (supports music slideshows using
picture images).
1.3 External Storage
If you connect to a USB 1.1 port, the TViX HD will work at USB 1.1 speed, so we strongly recommend that
you use USB 2.0.
It can be used as an external device to save video, audio, image files, data, program backups, etc.
USB 2.0 enables TViX HD to become an external storage device which supports up to 480Mbps.
It supports Plug & Play, so Windows will automatically recognize TViX HD.
If you connect the USB port when playing the TViX HD, the VFD will show as USB ON. When you
disconnect the USB, you do not have to reboot the TViX HD for continuous use.
If you are a Windows98SE user, you should download a USB storage driver from our website
www.tvix.co.kr/Eng before you connect your TViX HD with your system. You do not need to install a driver in
Windows ME/2000/XP.
You can download NetShare installer from our website www.tvix.co.kr/Eng before you configure NFS
network. If you select to NFS mode, you can play the TP or DVD jukebox without stutter.
