: Troubleshooting

•

S-Video

—If your TV does not have a VGA port, but 

includes an S-Video port, connect the S-Video cable 
from the Media Center computer’s S-Video Out port 
to the TV’s S-Video In port. S-Video display quality 
is usually good for TV images. The display quality for 
the Media Center computer functions, however, is 
not as good as VGA output. S-Video display output 
is not optimized for computer video display.

•

Quality of video cables

—Poor quality or the incorrect 

type of video cables can cause problems and affect the 
video quality. Gateway recommends using high-quality 
video cables that can be purchased from the Gateway 
Accessory Store. 
Note: Cable connections must be made correctly for 
optimal video quality. A poor cable connection can 
lower video quality.

•

Screen resolution

—Many TVs cannot display the high 

resolution of your computer, and may shift, scramble, 
or scroll the picture. For a better picture on a TV display, 
you may need to lower the Media Center screen 
resolution to 800 × 600 or 640 × 480. For more 
information about changing the screen resolution, see 
the “Customizing Windows” chapter in the online 

User 

Guide

.

•

Size of display device

—Small computer monitors for 

standard computer applications are generally not 
optimized for motion video playback. Although they 
offer excellent resolutions and refresh rates, they are 
designed to make static white backgrounds with black 
text look readable. Some small display devices do not 
make colorful motion video look its best. Generally, 
video will look better on a larger display device.

•

Age of the TV

—Newer TVs usually have more 

advanced features, produce a better quality picture, 
and support higher screen resolutions. The Media 
Center video display will likely be better on a newer 
model TV.
