Installation
Installation for Windows 7
For Windows 7, use the supplied CD-ROM with Honestech AVR. If you no longer have a CD player, you can download the program here. Note, it is a ZIP file, you must unpack the files before use. If you are not familiar with unzipping, you can find an explanation from Microsoft here.
Windows 7: Double-click on new drive for UVG-002. Double-click on autorun.exe. Give permission when prompted by Windows. Then the installation screen should appear.
Windows 7: After installation, restart your PC! Serial number: TVR25 -NMBGG-HGGGH-362DC-6BMG6
Installation for Windows 10 and 11
Windows 10 and 11 automatically recognize the video grabber. You do not need to install anything. The supplied CD-ROM is for Windows 7 only. However, you will need software. If you do not own video software, we recommend OBS Studio (free). You can download it at https://obsproject.com/.
Install OBS Studio and then restart your computer. Once the computer has restarted, open the OBS app on your computer.
If you are unfamiliar with such software, we have a brief description here. You can also ask your questions on their forum or via a Discord chat at www.obsproject.com. There are also many videos on YouTube for using OBS Studio.
Brief Description of OBS Studio
Press the + at sources. Choose Video Capture Device. Enter a name for your video file and click OK. Select AV to USB2.0 or OEM device and click OK.
Set your connected device to PLAY and you can start digitizing (record button). In OBS, everything can be adjusted as desired in terms of settings. Our advice is to first record a small piece to check if you have image and sound in the recordings.
If OBS recognizes the grabber as an OEM or AV 2.0 USB but you do not see an image, then check in your computer if the settings in Windows are correct to allow the use of the camera.

You can try NCH. You can download it [here](http://admin.manuals.plus/import-admin/pdf_html.php?sha256=0b4fef17c27b0ed835d8628f7997d25d48cad7e0ba56a284b8fdb6c98b7bce1c#).OBS recognizes the video grabber, but I have no image?
Check the settings in your Windows for camera permission.
I have connected a VCR but the image is black/white or the sound is poor.
Check if you have connected only the RCA plugs, as having a round S-video cable in between can cause interference (black/white image and/or poor sound).
I have a firewire camera, how do I connect it?
You will need a separate (not supplied) cable for this. It may be included with your video camera. You use this cable in the AV OUT jack connection of your camera.
I have connected the VCR via the scart adapter, but it is not recognized?
Check that the switch on the scart adapter is set to OUT.
OBS Studio Screenshots for No Sound During Recording
Press + at sources and select Audio Input Capture. Try the AUDIO INPUT CAPTURE option.
If you still have no sound on the next page, right-click on the Desktop Audio and Mic/Aux field. Then select the Advanced Audio Properties option that appears.
Where the L—–R slider (active) is shown, set it to monitor and output.
Also, check these settings (FILE -> SETTINGS) All Global Audio Devices must be set to DISABLED.
If you still can’t figure out the installation of the video grabber, or if you don’t know exactly how to connect everything to your equipment, please send an email to [email protected]. We can then send you more information if necessary.
