CHAPTER 3
Technical Tips
The following are problems that might arise when using the PC to TV
converter, and possible solutions to them.
Things to Check :
1. VGA-Y cable is backwards: Check the ends of the Y-cable and confirm
that the end labeled "PC" is plugged into your computer, the end labeled
"SCAN CNVRTR" is plugged into the Ultimate2000, and the end labeled
"MONITOR" is either connected to a monitor (on a desktop) or not
connected to anything (laptop).
2. Keyboard power adapter is not plugged in: With the computer OFF,
connect the keyboard power adapter into the keyboard port of the laptop or
desktop. Plugging in the adapter is effectively the same as plugging the
Ultimate2000 into the wall.
3. The input on the display (TV, projector, etc.) is not properly set. If your
display has multiple video inputs, then you have to toggle the inputs to
display the one you need. Typically this is done via the remote.
4. The TV looks fine during boot-up but once the PC enters Windows all I
see is black and white horizontal wavy lines: The display adapter (video
card) is set to a refresh rate not supported by the Ultimate2000.
