Connecting Your Video Out Graphics Card to a Television or VCR

1 Turn off your computer and your television or VCR.

2 Ensure your graphics card is installed correctly.

To use television display, you need the enhanced ATI driver (version 6.0 or

greater) installed on your system. For information about placing the card in

your computer and installing the enhanced ATI driver, see the Getting Started

guide.

3 Determine if your television or VCR has an S-Video or Composite video

connection.

4 Looking at the back of your computer, locate your graphics card. Using an

S-Video or Composite cable, attach one end of the cable to your graphics card

and the other to your television or VCR. (See Figure 1. Connecting your ATI

RADEON™ card to a TV or VCR below.)

5 Turn on your computer and your television or VCR.

6 To turn your television display on and off, please see Enabling and Disabling

the Television Display on page 5.

If there is no display on your television, you may need to switch your television

to video display. For more information, see the documentation supplied with

your television. If you have a television connected to your VCR, you can use

the television as your computer's display. For information about connecting a

television to your VCR, see the documentation that came with your VCR.
