Using TV Display Alone

If you plan to move your computer to a place where you are using TV display only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled prior to removing the monitor.

The maximum display resolution for TV is 1024x768. Choosing a resolution higher than this will cause the TV display to disappear if it is the only display device.

Using Games and Applications

Some older games and applications may program your RADEON™ X600 directly to run under a specific display mode. This may cause your TV display to turn off automatically or become scrambled (the PC monitor will not be affected). Your TV display will be restored once you exit the game or if you restart your computer.
