Enable TV Out?

retread · Jun 20, 2006, 07:44 PM

Using an AIW ATI 9600 w/ XP Pro. The ATI driver is from the CD, 8.13-050414a2-023139C-ATI. When playing a DVD w/ the MMC's DVD Player cannot enable S-Video or Composite output to a VCR. The manual on the CD says to use Display Properties to enable TV. I cannot find such a button. There is only a force TV detection box, which will not stay enabled. Can watch TV through the VCR w/ the ATI input connectors. The DVD I want to copy is not copy protected. Thanks in advance.

If that doesn't work its likely the cable is loose

Thanks again for the response. Using the suggestions posted above tried to connect to the vcr. No joy! All connections are good. Will try a different vcr and post results.

One thing I've noticed, the device you want to use has to be on for it to work or it won't just detect the connection, hope that helps
