Starting Windows

with Television Display Enabled
The television screen may become scrambled during the initial
Windows
®
logo display. This is only a temporary effect and
your television screen will be restored within a few seconds.
Note
A TV cannot be left connected to the graphics card if
two analog monitors are connected to the RADEON
8500/RADEON 7500, even if the TV is off and not
enabled in the software.
An analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector
cannot be left connected to the RADEON
8500/RADEON 7500 when TV out is enabled.
In both cases, the RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500
will become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on
all devices.
