Problem
Everything is connected
properly, but the TV only
shows snow. What's
wrong?
My TV does not have a
Video Input connector that
matches the cables with
my Video Converter. The
TV only has an ‘Antenna
In’ connector. Do I need
an adapter?
Can I use my VCR to con-
nect a Video Converter to
my TV
I see the computer image
on the TV, but the image
has a far lesser quality
image than my computer
monitor. Is my Video
Converter broken?
Can I use my Video
Converter to watch televi-
sion on my computer mon-
itor?
My Macintosh does not
have a Monitor Out con-
nector. Is it possible to
make a Video Converter
work with one-piece
Macintoshes?
Reason
The input source of your
TV needs to be set to
“Video Input” instead of a
numbered channel, such as
channel 3.
Yes. You need a special
adapter called an RF
Modulator. (If you have a
VCR see the note below.)
Yes
Windows 95
Video In is usually speci-
fied with your remote con-
trol, with a button labeled
TV/Video, Line In, Input
Select, or similar.
Sometimes the Video selec-
tion takes place in an
onscreen menu system. If
necessary, consult your TV
manual or manufacturer
for more information on
Video Input.
This device converts the
Composite Video signal
from your Video
Converter to an Antenna
Signal, which can then be
tuned in on your TV using
Channel 3 or 4. FOCUS
Technical Support recom-
mends the Radio Shack RF
Modulator, available
under Radio Shack part
number 15-1283.

You need to contact Apple
Computer and ask for a
Video Out Connector for
your particular Macintosh
model.
Yes. To use your VCRs built-in RF Modulation, connect the Composite or S-Video cable from the Video Converter
to the Video Input (also known as Aux IN, or AV in - it will probably be a yellow RCA/Phono type connector on
the back of your VCR). Now make sure your RF output is connected to your TV. Then tune your TV to channel 3
or 4, and turn on your VCR. Find a button on the front of the VCR (or remote control) called Line In, TV/Video,
Video Input, or similar and press it to activate video in.
No, your Video Converter is just fine. A television can provide only 30 frames per second. A computer monitor
provides over 60 frames per second. Merging these two media has always been technically very challenging.
These two very different frame rates cause flicker, and RGB color reduction. FOCUS Enhancements’ engineering
team develops the best Video Converter technology available today. Our products dramatically reduce the flicker
and provide the highest color transfers possible.
Your Video Converter is a one-way device for converting a computer video signal into an NTSC (also known as
Composite) video signal.
