Setting the V-Mate

5.Check the position of the NTSC/PAL switch on the back of the V-Mate. The selected position should match with the type of TV. Please consult the manual/specifications of the TV for details.

6.Move the power switch on the back of the V-Mate into the ON position.

7.Pull the plastic strip out of the remote control to activate the battery.

8.Press the power button on the remote and the V-Mate will start up (the blue slot LEDs blink and the green power LED stays on).

9.Turn on the TV and the video source box and change the input source on the TV. Depending on the TV, the input source may be called TV/Video, Input, or Source (consult the TV manual for more information). When the correct source is selected, you will see a message to insert a memory card. When the V-Mate is turned off (standby) from the remote control or on the back of the unit, the video signal from the video source box will be displayed on the TV screen. The V-Mate is now correctly connected

3. In order to record a video recording file that is compatible with your playback device,

you need to set the appropriate recording settings. You can do this manually or by

selecting your playback device from a list. To select from a list, select SETTINGS

and then RECORDING FORMAT. Select the appropriate category for you playback

device, then its brand and finally its model number. Settings can be manually adjusted

by selecting SETTINGS → RECORDING FORMAT → MANUAL SETTINGS. The

following settings can be manually adjusted:

• Quality (the higher the quality, the sharper the video)

• Format (different playback devices often work with different video formats)

• Resolution (the higher the resolution, the bigger the video width and height)

• Frame rate (the higher the frame rate, the smoother the video runs)

4. In order to schedule recordings and to let the V-Mate record programs while you are

not present, the Infrared Emitter needs to use an infrared code that is compatible with

the cable/satellite/terrestrial receiver box or VCR.
