Starting Windows® with TV Display Enabled

The TV screen may become scrambled during the initial Windows® logo display. This is only a temporary effect and your screen will be restored within a few seconds.

During start up, your card will go through a sequence of mode settings, during which your TV display will remain blank. This process takes only a few seconds and helps program the TV display.

The above illustration shows how to connect your PC to a European TV using the SCART.

The SCART connector supports only the Composite video format. If your version of RADEON only has the S-Video connector, you will have to use an S-Video-to-Composite video adapter cable

If your European TV has S-Video In, you can use an S-Video cable to connect directly to the TV rather than through the SCART connector.

The RADEON 9000 PRO that only has the Composite out connector DOES NOT support connection to TVs with S-Video In.
