Using and Adjusting TV Out

For information about how to use TV display, right
click the ATI taskbar icon, point to Help, then point
to ATI Television Display.

How TV Display Cannot Be Used

A TV cannot be left connected to the graphics card if
two analog monitors are connected to your
RADEON card, even if the TV is off and not enabled
in the software.
An analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector
cannot be left connected to your RADEON card
when TV out is enabled. In both cases, your
RADEON card will become overloaded, resulting in
a dim image on all devices.

Using a Monitor vs. Using the TV Display

Using your TV for your PC'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 TV. 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
TV display enabled. If you experience problems
when TV display is enabled, disable TV display to
restore your monitor's display.
Click on the ATI Displays tab. Click on the TV
button.
Click the enable/disable button.
Click OK or Apply to save the changes.
