Using TV Display
This chapter describes how to use the TV display feature of your ATI
Radeon™ X1700 FSC card.
Using TV Out
Your ATI Radeon™ X1700 FSC has TV Out capability.
Viewing Your PC Display on a TV
You can attach your ATI Radeon™ X1700 FSC to a TV and a monitor at
the same time. You can also connect it to your VCR and record your
monitor’s display.
TV-out display is ideal for giving presentations and watching movies, or
playing games on a screen larger than a typical monitor. The following tips
will help you get the most out of your TV Out feature.
Connecting to a TV or VCR
To connect your ATI Radeon™ X1700 FSC card to a TV or VCR, use an
S-Video cable. Many TVs (and VCRs) have a composite video input, in
which case you can use an S-video-to-composite video adapter. If your TV
has cable input only, you can connect your graphics card to your TV
through your VCR or an RF modulator that is available from most
electronics stores.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for European Customers
Some PC monitors in Europe
cannot
be used simultaneously with TV
display. When you enable TV display in Europe, the refresh rate for the
monitor and TV is set to 50 Hz. Some monitors may not support this
refresh rate
and could be damaged
.
•
Please check the documentation supplied with your monitor to see if
your monitor supports a refresh rate of 50 Hz.
•
If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you are not sure), turn off
your monitor before turning on your PC when using your TV as a
display.
