Changing Display Configurations
If you move your computer to a place where you are using television display only, make
sure that you have the television display feature enabled; see
“Enabling and Disabling
the Television Display”
If you change your display mode, television display is disabled beyond the 800x600 mode.
If a television is your only display device and a non-supported mode is selected, the
display on your television will disappear. Try pressing ESC or wait for 15 seconds to see
if your display will return. If your display does not return, you will need to hook up a
monitor to your computer to re-enable television display.
Using Games and Applications
Some older games and applications may program the graphics card directly to run under
a specific display mode. This may cause your television display to turn off automatically
or become scrambled (the PC monitor will not be affected). Your television display will be
restored once you exit the game or if you restart your system.
