The Radeon® X1900 GT has TV Out capability. You can attach your card
to a TV and monitor at the same time. Or you can connect it to your VCR
and record your monitor's display.
TV display is ideal for playing games, giving presentations, watching
movies, and browsing the Internet. The following tips will help you get the
most out of your TV Out feature.
For specific software-related setting relating to TV Out
functionality, see the appropriate section in the Catalyst™
Control Center chapter.
Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used
simultaneously with TV display. When you enable TV display
in Europe, the refresh rate for the monitor and TV is set to
50Hz. Some monitors may not support this refresh rate and
could be damaged.
• Please check the documentation supplied with your
monitor to see if your monitor supports a refresh rate of
50Hz.
If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you are
not sure), then turn off your monitor before turning
on your PC when using your TV as a display.
For information on disabling TV display, see How To
Enable/Disable The TV Display.
Some TVs in Europe may use a SCART connection. If
you use SCART, please read Using SCART
Connectors for European TVs before attempting to
connect your PC to your European TV.
