    TV Out

    Hi there,

    I'm quite new to this digital video thing but I'm learning quickly thanks to this great forum and the people using it.

    I have a Compaq Evo N800v, 1,9ghz, 512mb ram running XP Professional with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 card using the latest ATI Enhanced driver.

    I connect my computer with the TV using svhs and 3,5mm stereo to a scart adapter since my old TV doesn't have svhs.

    These are the instructions i got from ATI.

    Attach a TV or VCR to one of the TV OUT connectors (composite or s-video out) on the ATI card.
    Open Display Properties (from Control Panel)
    Select the Settings tab
    Click the Advanced button
    Select the Displays tab
    Click the green button beside the "TV" label
    Click the Apply button

    The problem is that the green button is greyed out. I have tryed havning the TV switched on/off, rebooting with TV switched on/off, changing resolutions and upgrading drivers. I don't know what else to try.

    Some help would be really nice since I'm getting quite frustrated over here. Thanks again for a great forum.

      I had the same problems with my Radeon 9000pro card and my parents TV. Have you tried to connect it to a VCR or another TV first? I have to connect it to my VCR enable TV-Out and the move it to the TV afterwards and then it works.

      hope it helps

          I the TV-out activated on another TV. But I have another problem now. I can see the desktop on the TV but not the movie. I see mediaplayer but get a back space where the movie should be.

              Under the same Screen as you choose TV-out there are two blue buttons beside the TV-screen one with a Cirkel and one with two Squares. Select the one with the circle for the Tv and the one wih the Squares for the PC-Screen. Or deselect your PC-Screen, it should do the trick.

              It select which screen is the Primery. If you select the button with the Circle for both, the PC-screen will output at 50Hz, and your screen might not support this, few does.

              Hope it works.
