Using TV Display and Capture Features

Using TV Out
Your All-In-Wonder® X1800 has TV Out capability. It also supports
YPbPr component video output. For European customers, SCART-out is
supported and included on the Input/Output connector.

Viewing Your PC's Display on a TV

You can attach your graphics card to a TV and monitor at the same time.
You can also connect it to your VCR and record your monitor's display.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for European Customers
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 50 Hz. 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 50 Hz.
• If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you are not sure), turn off
your monitor before turning on your PC when using your TV as a
display.
TV display is ideal for giving presentations and watching movies, or
playing games on a screen larger than a typical monitor. The following tips
will help you get the most out of your TV Out feature.

Connecting to a TV

To connect your All-In-Wonder® X1800 card to a TV, use an S-Video
cable.
Starting Windows® with TV Display Enabled
The TV screen may become scrambled during the initial Windows® logo
display. This distortion is only a temporary effect, and your screen will be
restored within a few seconds.
