ATI Technologies X800 - Manual (Page 38)

30 Using TV Out
During start up, your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® will go through a
sequence of mode settings, during which your TV display will remain blank.
This process takes only a few seconds and programs the TV display.
To enable or disable the TV display
1 Access the Windows® Control Panel. Double-click Display.
2 Click the Settings tab and then the Advanced button.
3 Click the ATI Displays tab. Click the TV button.
4 Click the enable button or disable button accordingly.
5 Click OK or Apply to save the changes.
Using and Adjusting TV Display Features
For information about how to adjust TV display features, right-click the ATI
taskbar icon, point to Help, then point to ATI Television Display.
TV Display Hardware Restrictions
A TV cannot be left connected to the graphics card if two analog monitors are
connected to your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® card, even if the TV
is off and not enabled in the software.
Similarly, an analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector should not be
left connected to your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® card when TV
Out is enabled. In both cases, your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® will
become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on all devices.
Using a Monitor vs. Using TV Display
Using your TV for your computer’s display can be useful, however, the
display on your monitor may change or look squashed. This distortion occurs
because the display adjusts to fit the dimensions of your TV. To correct the
monitor’s display, use the monitor’s control buttons to adjust its display size
and position.
Some single-frequency monitors may not work with TV display enabled. If
you experience problems when TV display is enabled, disable TV display to
restore your monitor’s display.
