Using TV Out

View your PC’s display on a TV

The RADEON™ X600 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.

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 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.
