Install Tempo AV Tool Control Panel
The Tempo AV control panel enables you to select an optimized setting for the
audio or video playback from a drive connected to the Tempo ATA100 when
you encounter problems.
1. Insert the Tempo AV Tool diskette into your computer's fl oppy disk drive.
2. Click on and drag the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel to your active
System Folder, and then release the mouse button. When the dialog box
appears, click OK; the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel will be copied from
the diskette and placed in the Control Panels folder.
Use the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel
Only use the Tempo AV Tool if you are experiencing problems with audio or
video playback from a drive connected to the Tempo ATA100. The Tempo AV
Tool resolves playback issues by slowing down the data transfer from drives
connected to the Tempo ATA100 to better match your legacy Macintosh bus
and processing limitations.
1. Click on the Apple Menu: Control Panels and select Tempo AV Tool; the
Tempo AV Tool control panel window will open (Figure 13).
2. Click on a radio button to make your selection, then close the window.
Note: If your initial selection does not remedy your playback issue, try other
settings on the list until all options are exhausted; different fi le formats
can exhibit different behaviors. The Tempo AV Tool cannot address video
playback issues related to insuffi cient or underpowered video support.
