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. Also, double check that the
AC power cable is properly connected to your PC.
Power Up will start your computer 5 minutes in advance of the scheduled
recording time, for example, if you have set ComproPVR 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 S1/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 TV 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, in other words, you can skip
Power Up Connections in steps 3 through 6. You can still use scheduled
recording from Standby mode or leave your PC powered on.
The ATX power switch cable is not polarized. You can plug it in either
direction.
If computer can’t boot up while plugging in VideoMate TV Gold II/Gold Plus II
tuner card, switch the blue jumper from JX6 to JX1 to solve this problem. After
doing so, you have to switch the red jumper JX5 to 2-3 (right) and this
disables the remote wake up function.
If computer can’t boot up while plugging in VideoMate TV Ultra tuner card,
switch the blue jumper from JX7 to JX6 to solve this problem. After doing so,
you have to switch the red jumper JX8 to 2-3 (right) and this disables the
remote wake up function.
