Connecting the TView Silver to an IBM
PC or Macintosh Computer
This section describes the steps to connect your TView Silver to a
television or VCR. The following sections describe how to connect to
IBM PCs, Macintosh PCs, IBM PC laptops and Notebooks, and
Macintosh PowerBooks.
Notes: 1. Before performing the steps to connect the TView
Silver to a laptop computer, you must turn on the
external video connector. This is accomplished by using
a particular key sequence on the keyboard (for example,
FN + F11) or through the BIOS setup program. Refer to
your laptop owners manual to determine how the
external video connector is turned on.
2. Not all Macintosh PowerBook computers have a
connector for an external monitor. In order to use these
laptops with the TView Silver, you must buy a third-party
add-on to output external videos.
Perform the following steps to connect the TView Silver to a PC
or Macintosh Desktop or Laptop:
1.
Turn the computer and monitor off.
The computer must be off when connecting the TView
Silver. Connecting with the power on could result in
static damage to your computer and video equipment.
