make sure your TV or video recorder is set up to use
line
input. For example, if your TV
has a
TV/VIDEO
switch, set it to
VIDEO
; or if your video recorder has a
TUNER/LINE
switch, set it to
LINE
.
Optionally, if you use the composite video
and
S-video connectors on your Matrox TV
adapter, you can directly connect two different video devices at the same time.
To view
and
record output from the same Matrox video connector, you can connect it to a
video recorder and connect the video recorder to a TV. For more information, see your video
recorder and TV manuals.

Connect audio output
Typically, the sound output from a
computer comes from speakers connected
to your sound card. If you prefer, you can
hear or record the sound output from your
computer using the same TV or video
recorder you connect to your graphics card.
To do this, you need an audio cable with a
stereo jack on one end and two RCA
connectors on the other end. If you don’t
have this type of cable, you can buy one at
most consumer electronics stores.
a
Plug the stereo-jack end of the audio
cable into the
LINE OUT

connector on your sound card.
b
Plug the other end of the cable into the
left (

) and right (
R
)
AUDIO IN
connectors of your video device. For
more information, see your sound card
manual.
‡ If your TV only has an antenna or cable TV connector, you can use an
RF modulator
to connect it to your Matrox card. RF
modulators are available at most electronics stores.
* If your computer has no audio
LINE OUT
connector, you can use its
SPKR
(speaker) connector instead. In this case, all your
computer sound output goes to the video device you connected to.
