VGA TO VIDEO—PORTABLE PLUS
4. Troubleshooting
Problem
: The top and bottom of
the display is clipped for 640 x 480
NTSC mode.
Solution
: The TV’s NTSC mode
cannot display widely enough for the
VGA mode with 480 horizontal lines.
The TV can only display 470 lines.
You can use the VGA to Video—
Portable Plus advanced functions to
position the display up, down, left,
or right on the TV for the best view.
Problem
: Flicker or blinking on TV.
Solution
:
A. The hard drive may be
processing data. When the drive
is finished, flickers and blinking
will disappear.
B. The flicfree driver may conflict
with other TSR programs, such
as HIMEM.SYS, installed with
DOS Config.sys. Remove other
TSR programs.
Problem
: Ghost or crosstalk in text
and color border.
Solution
: Because the computer
displays faster than the TV does, the
ghosting may appear while the VGA
to Video—Portable Plus transfers
signals from higher speed VGA
signal. You may wish to use the S-
Video port instead of the AV port if
the TV supports S-Video.
Problem
: Nothing is displayed on
the TV.
Solution
:
A. Make sure the power adapter
is connected to the VGA to
Video—Portable Plus.
B. Make sure you selected “Video”
input on your TV, or that you
selected the proper channel for
video display.
C. Make sure that the VGA to
Video—Portable Plus cables are
plugged firmly into your VGA
connector.
D. Make sure the video cable is
firmly connected to the VGA to
Video—Portable Plus and the
TV set.
E. You might have released the
FLICFREE driver.
Problem
: Some characters change
color while switching to TV mode.
Solution
: Switch to TV mode before
activating application software.
