First of all Michelle have you set your TV to the composite input channel ?

If you have done that and stil dont get anything on your tv then you need to open up the properties of your GFX card.
There should be an option for Clone Display, select that and that should work

you worry me when you talk to me like I'm not blonde

is there a setting on the tv then? I just thought I'd be able to switch it over to AV2 as it plugs in like the playstation and thats on the playstation channel?

The graphics settings say that the tv isn't plugged in

So you have just replaced the playstation leads with the pc leads and used the same channel ?

Okay, please we are stuggling on this one, it seems the cable works ok as I've tested it with camcorder to tv, but just not with pc.

The pc isn't showing that there is a tv plugged in, in the display settings it is greyed out. Unconnected.

I have updated the graphics drivers

Michelle · « **Reply #8 on:** April 26, 2006, 17:08 »

okay then

On the ATI website I have seen some things saying this is a known issue and engineers are looking into it.

I have written to Medion to ask their advice too.

Sandra · « **Reply #9 on:** April 26, 2006, 23:37 »

Makes sense as what we were getting didnt

Michelle · « **Reply #10 on:** March 04, 2007, 19:28 »

Remember this old chestnut?

Well I tried a few times to get this to work with no joy from the ATI website, they say they are still looking into the problem!

Well its sorted ............ sort of lol

I've connected up the Xbox 360 to the PC/TV and that now plays all my films, music and I can look at my pictures on the TV - hehe - I didnt' even know it would do that.

It only plays WMV films but Winavi converts from anything to WMV.
