Turning on the System

WARNING - Turn on your monitor before you turn on your computer. Failure to do so could damage your monitor.

If you have properly installed your graphics card, operating system messages will appear once the boot procedure is finished.

Your monitor will be running in a basic video mode. Higher refresh rates are not available at this stage of the installation. Once you have installed the All- in-Wonder® X1900 drivers and software, you can use the Display Properties control panel to adjust the video settings and configure multiple monitors.

Input and Output Adapters

Your All-in-Wonder® X1900 uses input and output adapters that let you connect audio and video devices to the card (for example, TV, VCR, or camcorder).

Your All-in-Wonder® X1900 card uses a digital audio path. The card’s audio output does not require a separate connection to your sound card to hear the audio accompanying your video output.

This section outlines the configuration to use for a variety of situations.

Watching or Recording Movies on a PC and Recording from a VCR or Camcorder

Use the ATI input adapter to connect a VCR or camcorder to your All-in- Wonder® X1900 card, as shown.
