Starting Windows
with Television Display Enabled
The television screen may become scrambled temporarily during the initial
®
Windows
logo display. This is only a temporary effect and your television
screen will be restored within a few seconds.
During start up, your RADEON™/RADEON™ VE will go through a sequence
of mode settings during which your television display will remain blank. This
process takes only a few seconds and helps program the television display.
Using a Monitor vs. Using the Television Display
Using your television for your computer's display is ideal for playing games,
giving presentations, watching movies, and browsing the Internet. However, the
display on your monitor may change or looked squashed. This occurs because the
display adjusts to fit the dimensions of your television. To correct the monitor's
display, use the monitor's control buttons to adjust its display size and position.
Some single frequency monitors may not work with television display enabled. If
you experience problems when television display is enabled, disable television
display to restore your monitor's display.
Adjusting Monitor Display
The size of the display on your monitor may be smaller and not perfectly
centered when you have television display enabled. These effects are caused by
the changes required to provide a proper display on the television.
Use the controls available on the Adjustments tab on the Monitor Properties
page (accessible by clicking on the Monitor button on the ATI Displays tab) to
adjust the display on your monitor only. Click on the Television button to adjust
the television display only.
Viewing Text on Television
Due to the different technology used in the manufacturing of televisions and PC
monitors, standard PC text may look too small on your television. You can
compensate for this by using larger fonts.
To Use Larger Display Fonts
1 Click Start.
2 Point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
3 Double-click Display.
4 Click on the Settings tab and then the Advanced... button.
5 Make sure you're on the General tab.
6 In the Font Size box, select the size you want your displayed fonts to be.
7 Click Apply, then follow the onscreen instructions to save your new settings.
