viewing the pc image on your tv screen

NOTE: The type of video card on your PC determines how the PC selects the TV-out option. Some options and menus in this procedure may be different for your PC.

1Make sure the video and audio cables are connected before you turn on the TV and the PC.

2Turn on the TV. Press the Video/TV button on your remote control to select the Video setting, not the TV setting.

3Turn on your PC.

4When the Windows desktop appears, right-click an empty area of the desktop and choose Properties.

5Click the Settings tab.

6Click the Advanced button.

7Click the nView tab, if available, and in the area nView Display Mode select Clone to view the computer image on your PC monitor and your TV simultaneously.

NOTE: You can view the PC image on just the TV. In the area nView Display Mode, select Standard [Dualview], click the Device Settings button, choose Select Output Device, and then select the TV option.

8Click the OK button, and then click OK again.

9When the PC image appears on the TV screen, click Yes to keep the setting. You have 15 seconds to accept this new setting before it reverts to the previous setting.

NOTE: Some PC models can connect more than one display device (CRT monitor, flat panel monitor, TV, etc.) to the PC. You can quickly change where the PC desktop appears by pressing Alt+F5. (Press the Alt key and the F5 key on the keyboard at the same time.) Each time you press the Alt+F5 key combination, the PC desktop appears on the next device. If Alt+F5 does not work, restart the PC and try again.
