Svideo Connection Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LostSoul]

Hi I've just purchased a graphics card with an Svideo port so that I can watch my films on my pc on my tv. I've got the cable plugged at the back of my tv and pc, but nothing. I've tried the usual channels stb, Egame, AV, DVD but nothing no picture on my tv from my pc. Any ideas, would appreciate any constructive feedback.

Depending on the video card, you probably need to configure it to output from the S-video port. It should have come with a utility to allow you to do that. (check the system tray for an icon). If not (assuming you've installed the drivers correctly, ther may be extra configurations in the Display Properties applet. Try:
Right-click desktop
Choose Properties
Select the Settings Tab
Click the Advanced button
You should find a tab with the name of your Video adaptor on it, which if you select it, will offer additional settings.

Also of course, you will need to set your TV to expect input from its S-video (AV) input.

Keep in mind that the S-video port is video ONLY. so if you want the sound to also come from your TV you will need to connect a lead from your sound card to the TV's AV audio-in socket(s)
