Problems with Quadra operation may result from incorrect system connections
and settings. In the event of difficulty or anomalous results, first check the
following basic items:

•

Cable connections

•

The video format associated with each input

•

The timing selected for the display device attached to a particular
channel

•

Any system options currently in effect

•

Use the command line interface to query the current settings of the
parameter in question to determine Quadra’s current values.

Some of these items are discussed in detail in the “
