Using TV Out

View your PC’s display on a TV

Your RADEON 9200 Series has TV Out capability. 
You can attach your card to a TV and monitor at the 
same time. Or you can connect it to your VCR and 
record your monitor’s display. 

TV display is ideal for playing games, giving 
presentations, watching movies, and browsing the 
Internet. The following tips will help you get the 
most out of your TV Out feature.

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 50Hz. 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 
50Hz. 

If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you 
are not sure), then turn off your monitor before 
turning on your PC when using your TV as a 
display. 

For information on disabling TV display, see 

How To 

Enable/Disable The TV Display on page 32

.

Some TVs in Europe may use a SCART connection. If you 
use SCART, please read 

Using SCART Connectors for 

European TVs on page 32

 

before attempting to connect 

your PC to your European TV.
