Connecting your RADEON 8500/RADEON
7500 to a TV or a VCR
To connect your graphics card to a television or a VCR, use an
S-Video cable from your RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 to the
television (or VCR). However, most televisions (and VCRs)
have a Composite video input, in which case you can use the
supplied S-Video to Composite video adapter. If your television
has cable input only, which is the case on older units, you can
connect your RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 to your
television through your VCR or an RF modulator (available in
most electronics stores).
Connecting Your R200/RV200 TV Out to a Television or VCR
1
Turn off your computer and your television (or VCR).
2
Ensure your graphics card is installed correctly.
For information about placing the card in your computer
and installing the enhanced ATI driver, see the RADEON
8500/RADEON 7500 Getting Started guide.
3
Determine if your television (or VCR) has an S-Video or
Composite video connection.
4
Looking at the back of your computer, locate your
RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 card. Using an S-Video
cable or the supplied adapter cable, attach one end of the
cable to your graphics card and the other to your television
(or VCR). See “Connecting your ATI RADEON
8500/RADEON 7500 card to a TV (or VCR)” on the
following page.
