If you are having difficulty seeing your computer display on the TV, check the following:

Connections:

Check the power connection to the Web Cable Plus.

Check the VGA connection from the Web Cable Plus to the PC.

Check the connections from the Web Cable Plus to the TV.

TV (or VCR):

RCA connections to a TV or VCR must be to the Video Input (yellow) connector.

If you are connected directly to a TV, ensure that the TV has been configured to
accept auxiliary video input.

If you are connected to the TV through a VCR, ensure that the TV and VCR have
been configured to accept auxiliary video input.


An input button on the TV or VCR’s original remote control often sets the video input mode.
This mode is needed for both S-Video and RCA video connections.

The button may be marked Video, Video-1, Aux, Input, Vid, Line, Line-In, TV/VCR, etc. On
some TV’s and VCR’s, selecting Channel 2, then pressing the Down Channel button, makes
this setting. If this does not work, refer to your TV (or VCR) manual.



Settings:

Check that the computer’s Display Settings are set correctly.

640x480 at 60-85Hz

800x600 at 60-85Hz

1024x768 at 60-70Hz



Laptops:

Laptops must be set to External-only or Simultaneous VGA display mode. This is
usually done with a hot-key combination (Fn + function key). Refer to your laptop manual
for further details.
