12 Connecting to a TV or VCR

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 or VCR

To connect your Radeon® X1650 PRO card to a TV or VCR, use an S- Video cable. Many TVs (and VCRs) have a Composite video input, in which case you can use the supplied S-Video-to-Composite video adapter. If your TV has cable input only, you can connect your graphics card to your TV through your VCR or an RF modulator that is available from most electronics stores.

To connect S-Video Out

1Power off your computer and your TV (or VCR).

2Determine if your TV (or VCR) supports either a S-Video or Composite video connection.

3Looking at the back of your PC, locate your S-Video Out. Using an S- Video cable or the supplied adapter cable, attach one end of the cable to your graphics card and the other to your TV (or VCR). Refer to the illustration.

4Power on your TV (or VCR) first, then your computer.
