  Hi ismael,.
  I'll try to help with that, but it's a long way to the road...
  I don't know what Tv system is used to Malta (Pal)?

  The best way to set up your TV's with Media Center 2005 edition.
  Cables:
  Check the back of your cable TV installation box and find the composite or SVHS output. If you have only the composite, you can use the composite cable of the posted image. If your TV decoder has the SVHS, so you should use, to the better image than composite. You must obtain a SVHS cable for this.
  Look for the audio output rca, too. Mix with the composite cable for the audio Qosmio.

  But you must have:
  1 control cable IR, for media center 2005 configuration as well as your TV decoder. It is cable connected to the remote sensor (see fact sheet on the back).

  2 sensor for your remote control and configure it with the remote control of your TV decoder. In this way, you can control the receiver cable channels, using the remote control for your Qosmio G20 media center edition.
  Recovery: you can change the channels on your TV decoder using the qosmio remote control.

  3. remote control for you media Center 2005, one that came with your Qosmio g20.

  Open the TV on Media Center 2005 configuration and follow all the steps required for installation.
  You must follow the guide, as is explained in the image you posted:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/Setup/SetTop.mspx

  If you have all these cables, you can use the Qosmio player to watch TV. It is not tied to windows OS.
  Here, simply connect the coaxial cable and let the Qosmio player search for available channels in your area. Qosmio player has the opportunity to set the colour TV system in any part of the world. all NTSC regions in all PAL regions.
  If you have the remote control for your Qosmio, TV keys will work directly with the Qosmio remote sensor on board, without needing the external sensor of Microsoft.

  I hope this helps you

• Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

  First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
  Please help me and thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
  Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

  You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
  But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

  I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)

• Qosmio G20-110 with Vista-> cannot transfer files to SD card

  Hello

  I created Vista on this machine by following the instructions of Francisco Jr. Everything works fine except

  1. I can't transfer files on a SD card. I get the following error:
  «Error 0 x 80070079 semaphore time out...» »

  2. He reformatted not either. If I try to format it, I get the following error:
  "Windows could not format the drive.
  The Toshiba SD Memory Format utility would not work either.

  The same problems occur if I insert a Memory Stick. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I noticed some people on the forum with a similar problem toshiba Satellite:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25227&MessageID=95150??

  The strange thing is, I can not read the card no problem, copy her okay and even delete files it contains. But I can't transfer files to it and I can't format it. The card works fine in other laptops with internal SD disks. In addition, it works fine if I plug an external drive in the Qosmio. Under XP it was no problem. I tried to reinstall Vista, reinstall the drivers supplied by Francisco Jr. and ran windows update several times. But I still get the same problem.

  Looks like a problem with Vista not being able to communicate properly with the SD Qosmio player. Would appreciate any help on this.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  As you probably know not all cards are supported and can be used!
  In of the Qosmio G20 unit user manual you should find information what cards argues the Qosmio G20card player!
  Please check this box.

  Regarding your card problem SD;

  Well, I read that you also a message in another thread.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25227

  And regarding the declaration, you can read data from SD cards. But it seems that you can not always copy or remove the data from the SD card.

  Well, the SD card should normally pay a locking function. If the card is locked you can only read but you will not be able to remove something from the card or you will not be able to format the card.
  I think you should check this switch!

• Qosmio G20 with authentic vista - topical issues...

  Hi all...

  I installed a genuine version of Vista Home Premium on my G20 and have several problems that I'm trying to fix. Check of Vista Compatablitity' highlighted only the bluetooth stack and the video drivers as a problem then I moved and made installation... I managed to find the Toshiba vista compatible Bluetooth Stack on Asia oshiba website (so it's all sorted out now. The main problem I have now is I can't watch video clips or listening to audio clips! When audio or video is played, he only plays in slow motion! Nayone have ideas? have you tried in Media center, windows media player, nero showtime, divx player and VLC player... pklays video and audio slow in any of the foregoing.

  Any help appreciated.

  PS in addition, the frustration of not having the qosmio player drivers is also obvious!

  I installed Vista on Qosmio G30 and it works well (sound, image). I put t know why you have this problem, but maybe you should wait for the official launch of Vista. After Toshiba official lunch will offer probably all the necessary drivers for all mobile phones capable of Vista.

  It is not necessary to be frustrated.

• Qosmio G20 - RAM and GDD upgrade advice needed

  Hi all

  I have decided to try to give my old g20 renewed life with a few updates, but could do with a few tips before you start to throw money at it.
  The first and most obvious update will install two sticks of 1 GB memory and I was thinking about crossing the old hard disk of 80 GB 5400 RPM to something big and I hope more quickly as a 320 GB 7200 RPM, any advice on this would be appreciated because I don't know if this is possible.

  I was also wondering if the cpu can be upgraded and if someone knew were I could get a new mine cpu fan has become noisy.

  Thanks for you time all tips, ideas and input would be much appreciated.

  2 x 1 GB RAM will be fine. You must use the RAM that has the same speed and timings of CASE/RAS similar as the original of the RAM. Avoid the "Value RAM."

  With respect to the HARD disk, a 120 GB should certainly work, but 320 GB * could * be too large depending on what the Chipset and BIOS can support. Maybe an other G20 owner here it can confirm works, or search the Qosmio for "HARD drive" section

  With respect to the processor, you must be careful when upgrading it. Look at the other models of the G20 and determine what the CPU the fastest they have. This way you can almost guarantee it will work properly.
  If you install a faster processor is faster than what is available in the range of the G20, may not be detected correctly and the cooling fan isn't able to manage the production of heat, causing the laptop overheats.
  Also, I think that a special utility must be run to calibrate the CPU. In my view, that the ASP have access to this utility. The CPU can run very slowly if this utility is not running.

  An FSL may replace the noisy fans for you and remove any accumulation of dust at the same time.
