Starting Windows
®
with TV Display Enabled
The TV screen may become scrambled during the
initial Windows
®
logo display. This is only a
temporary effect and your screen will be restored
within a few seconds.
During start up, your RADEON card will go through
a sequence of mode settings, during which your TV
display will remain blank. This process takes only a
few seconds and helps program the TV display.
Using SCART Connectors for European TVs
The above illustration shows how to connect your
RADEON 8500 to a European TV using the SCART.
The SCART connector supports only the Composite
video format, which means you will have to use an
S-Video-to-Composite Video Adapter Cable. If
your European TV does support S-Video input, you
should connect directly to the TV with an S-Video
cable rather than through the SCART.
For the RADEON 7500 you can use a Composite
(RCA) cable to connect directly to the SCART.
