3 Switch the input channel of the TV to external input.

 

 

4 Set up the TV configuration system.

 

 

 

See the manual supplied with your peripheral for more

 

 

information on installation and use.

 

 

If you insert a DVD in your DVD-ROM drive to watch a video

 

 

on your TV, the <Fn>+<F8> key combination might not

 

 

activate the function to toggle between your LCD and TV.

 

 

Solution:

 

 

1. Eject your DVD from your computer.

 

 

2. Once the DVD is ejected, toggle between your LCD and

 

 

your TV with the combination <Fn>+<F8>.

 

 

Your image displays now on both LCD and TV. Re-insert your

 

 

DVD to launch your DVD software.

 

 

If the display resolution of your computer is more than 800 x

 

 

600 pixels, a part of the image cannot be displayed on your

 

 

TV. The hidden area on your TV can be seen by moving the

 

 

cursor on your computer. If you want to display the full image,

 

 

change the display resolution of your computer to 640 x 480

 

 

pixels.
