IMPORTANT INFORMATION for European Customers
L
Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used simultaneously with TV
display. When you enable TV display in Europe, the refresh rate for the
monitor and TV is set to 50 Hz. Some monitors may not support this
refresh rate and could be damaged.
•
Please check the documentation supplied with your monitor to see if
your monitor supports a refresh rate of 50 Hz.
•
If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you are not sure), turn off
your monitor before turning on your PC when using your TV as a
display.
TV display is ideal for giving presentations and watching movies, or playing
games on a screen larger than a typical monitor. The following tips will help
you get the most out of your TV Out feature.

To connect your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® card to a TV, use an
S-Video cable.
Starting Windows® with TV Display Enabled
The TV screen may become scrambled during the initial Windows® logo
display. This distortion is only a temporary effect, and your screen will be
restored within a few seconds.
30 Using TV Out
During start up, your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® will go through a
sequence of mode settings, during which your TV display will remain blank.
This process takes only a few seconds and programs the TV display.
To enable or disable the TV display
1
2
3
Access the Windows® Control Panel. Double-click Display.
Click the Settings tab and then the Advanced button.
Click the ATI Displays tab. Click the TV button.
4
5
Click the enable button
or disable button
accordingly.
Click OK or Apply to save the changes.
Using and Adjusting TV Display Features
For information about how to adjust TV display features, right-click the ATI
taskbar icon, point to Help, then point to ATI Television Display.
TV Display Hardware Restrictions
A TV cannot be left connected to the graphics card if two analog monitors are
connected to your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® card, even if the TV
is off and not enabled in the software.
Similarly, an analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector should not be
left connected to your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® card when TV
Out is enabled. In both cases, your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® will
become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on all devices.
Using a Monitor vs. Using TV Display
Using your TV for your computer’s display can be useful, however, the
display on your monitor may change or look squashed. This distortion occurs
because the display adjusts to fit the dimensions of your TV. To correct the
monitor’s display, use the monitor’s control buttons to adjust its display size
and position.
Some single-frequency monitors may not work with TV display enabled. If
you experience problems when TV display is enabled, disable TV display to
restore your monitor’s display.
Using TV Out 31
Adjusting Monitor Display
The size of the display on your monitor may become smaller and not perfectly
centered when you have TV display enabled. These effects are caused by the
changes your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® makes in order to render
your desktop display on a TV screen.
Use the controls available on the Adjustments tab on the Monitor Properties
page (accessible by clicking on the Monitor button on the ATI Displays tab)
to adjust the display on your monitor only. Click the TV button to adjust the
TV display only.
Viewing Text on a TV
A TV is designed primarily to show moving images. The large dot pitch of a
TV will yield poor quality static images. The small text sizes commonly used
for PC desktops can appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can compensate
for this degradation by using larger fonts.
Reducing Edge Distortion
When using a TV for your computer’s display, you may see some edge
distortion on the left and right side of your TV screen. This effect depends on
your TV and the computer application you are running.
You can reduce edge distortion by increasing the TV display’s horizontal size
or contrast.
Using a TV as the Only Display
If you plan to move your computer to a place where you are using TV display
only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled prior to
removing the monitor.
The maximum display resolution for TV is 1024 x 768. Choosing a resolution
higher than this will cause the TV display to disappear if it is the only display
device.
Using Games and Applications
Some older games and applications may program your All-in-Wonder® X800
PCI Express® directly to run under a specific display mode. This may cause
your TV display to turn off automatically or become scrambled (the PC
monitor will not be affected). Your TV display will be restored once you exit
the game or if you restart your computer.

CHAPTER 6:
Using Multiple Displays
This chapter describes how to attach multiple monitors to your All-in-
Wonder® X800 PCI Express® card, as well as the allowable multi-display
configurations.
Connecting Your Monitors
Your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® provides hardware support for
one DVI-I monitor or two VGA monitors using the optional DVI-I-to-VGA
adapter. A TV can also be used to expand your desktop by using the S-Video
out.
If you use multiple monitors, the All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express®
card must be the primary graphics card. Normally, the system BIOS
determines which graphics card will be the primary.

MulTView™
If you have an All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® Series Series card and
an ATI TV Wonder™ PCI card installed in the same system, MulTView™
lets you watch a different channel in a secondary video window. You can
record video from your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® Series while
you watch another channel on the TV Wonder™. The secondary window can
be in the following locations:
• Picture in Picture (PiP): When the main video window is in full-
screen, the MulTView™ PiP video window is embedded in the main
window. It can be positioned in the top/bottom left or top/bottom
right of the main window.
• Picture outside Picture (PoP): If you use only one monitor, the main
and MulTView™ video windows can be displayed in separate
windows. If you use dual monitors, you can drag the MulTView™
window to the secondary monitor. MulTView™ can be displayed in a
window or full-screen in the secondary monitor.
MulTView™ controls include channel up/down, mute/unmute, audio, swap
channel, volume slider, and channel status. When MulTView™ is in focus,
you can also type a channel number or name to change channels.
To enable MulTView™
In the MulTView™ Initialization Wizard, click Enable MulTView™.

The MulTView™ window borders disappear after a few seconds of mouse
inactivity on the MulTView™ window. When you move your mouse over the
MulTView™ window, the border reappears.
Only one video window can be in control. When the embedded MulTView™
window is in focus, its borders are red; when it is not in focus, its borders are
black. For example when the borders are red, a Remote Wonder™ channel-
change command will change the MulTView™ channel.
MulTView™ Audio Requirements
If you have one audio card or an integrated audio chip, you must connect one
audio path internally (CD-In, for example) and the other externally (Line-In,
for example).
If you have two audio cards or one audio card and an integrated audio chip,
you can connect both audio paths internally, externally, or one internally and
the other externally.
