Chapter 3 Installation & First Time Setup

3.1 Hardware Installation

Please follow the steps below to properly connect the Game Capture HD and your TV / video game consoles.

Step 1 Connecting the Device to Your Game Console Using Universal Component Cable Universal Component Cable is used to hook up your game console to the Game Capture HD at a time. This cable is composed of component video cable with RCA audio cable at one end and three cables compatible with PS2/3, Xbox and Wii at the other end. Step 1-1: Plug the green, blue, red connectors into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN port on the rear of the device. Step 1-2: Plug the white and red connectors into the AUDIO IN port on the rear of the device. Step 1-3: Plug the other end to your game console (choose a console-specific cable).

Make sure not to mix up the two red cables. z The Game Capture HD supports one game console connection at a time only. Connecting more than one console to the Game Capture HD at the same time may result in video quality issues, even if only one console is on. z Before making the connections, make sure to set game console’s video output to “Component” and adjust its output resolution to 1080i or below. Then power your game console off. z If you would like to install internal hard drive, install it before making the connections. z Make sure that the cables are firmly connected and that neither of the cables are loose. If any of the cables are loose or disconnected, there may be a loss of signal or screen color problems.

Step 2 Connecting the Device to Your TV Using Component Video Cable Connect one end of the component video cable to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT port on the rear of the device and the other end to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN (colored green, blue, and red) port on your TV. When connecting with the Game Capture HD, your console’s audio output settings remain unchanged. If your amplifier or other audio devices support optical digital audio output, you can still output digital audio. Please follow the steps below to make digital audio cable connection and configure the audio output settings. For Xbox 360: Step 1 Connect one end of the digital audio cable (not included) to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT port on the Universal Component Cable. Then connect the other end to the DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT (OPTICAL INPUT) port on your amplifier or surround system.

Step 2 On your console, go to Settings > Console Settings > Audio > Digital Output and select the appropriate digital audio setting for your amplifier or surround system. For PS3: Step 1 Connect your console with amplifier or surround system via digital audio cable (not included) Step 2 On your console, go to Settings >Sound Settings > Set Audio Output Settings and select “Optical Digital”. Then select “Dolby Digital 5.1 Ch.”. Step 3 On your console, go to Settings > Sound Settings > Audio Multi-Output and set the option to “On”.

Step 3 Connecting the Device to Your TV Using Composite Audio Cable Connect one end of the composite audio cable to the AUDIO OUT port on the rear of the device and the other end to the AUDIO IN (colored white and red) port on your TV.
