Turning a Video Device On and Off
When an S-video or composite-video device is on, an image is
displayed. When the device is off, an image is not displayed.
A device that is connected to the system can be turned on or off
3 ways:
■
Start or restart the notebook.
or
■
Repeatedly press the
Fn+F4
hotkeys to switch the image
among the notebook display, all connected displays, and
simultaneous displays. When the image is switched to a
connected video device, the device turns on.
or
■
On the ATI Displays tab in Windows, press the TV Power
button, then select the OK button. To access the ATI Displays
tab, select Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes
icon > Display icon. Select the Settings tab, press the
Advanced button, then select the ATI Displays tab.
The 3 methods for turning a video device on and off are
interchangeable. For example, if you turned off a connected
device in Windows, you can turn on the device by either restarting
the notebook or pressing the
Fn+F4
hotkeys.
To conserve power, turn off the device by using one of the
3 methods described above. Disconnecting the device from the
system without turning it off using one of these three methods
will not conserve power.
