Installing the MaxView
The MaxView is totally plug-and play. Installation is simple and straightforward. There is no need to
install any device driver. Just follow these steps:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Disconnect your monitor’s VGA cable from the VGA port on the rear of the computer.
3. Connect the MaxView’s 15-pin VGA connector to the VGA port where the monitor was connected.
(You may choose to connect the PC monitor to the VGA pass-thru port on the MaxView for
simultaneous display on your PC monitor.)
4. Choosing tht S-VIDEO* or RCA video cable, connect one end to the appropriate port on the MaxView,
and the other end to the corresponding port on the TV.
5. Plug in the power adapter.
6. Power on your PC.
That’s all there is to it! You should now be able to see your computer image displayed on the TV screen,
LCD projector, VCR, or video camcorder. There is no need to change any settings unless your computer’s
VGA output is set at a refresh rate higher than 85Hz. You may want to use the included Display_Utility.exe
utility to detect the refresh rate of your computer’s VGA signal. Follow the instructions in the README
file in the \Utility\Display folder on the CD-ROM to adjust the refresh rate to support your computer. We
suggest that you use 60Hz for a 1024x768 resolution, and 75Hz for 640x480 and 800x600.
*Note: The S-Video connection is a newer video standard. This type of connection improves color,
clarity, and resolution. We recommend using the S-Video connection whenever available.
Using the Display Enhancement Utilities
To enhance your efficiency and pleasure using our product, we have included two utilities. The utilities may
be run from the CD-ROM Browser, or can be manually copied from the CD-ROM to your hard drive for
convenience when you do not have the CD-ROM handy.
The TV Font Utility makes menu functions, buttons, icons and sometimes the contents of Windows
applications appear larger on your TV, so you can view the content comfortably from a distance. The utility
may be run directly from the CD Browser, or if you wish, you may copy the entire \Utility\TVFont folder
from the CD to your hard drive. This will allow you to run the TV Font Utility even when you don't have
the CD handy. Simply double-click on AITVFont.exe anytime you want to use a larger display font under
the Windows environment.
The Display Utility detects your system and allows you to choose an optimal refresh rate for maximum
system compatibility. The utility may be run from the CD Browser, or if you wish, you may copy the entire
\Utility\Display folder from the CD to your hard drive. This will allow you to run the Display Utility even
when you don't have the CD handy. Simply double-click the Display_Utility.exe file to run the utility.
