the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
•
•
•
Secure Attachment - All card securement pins shall be completely
tightened as to provide continuous bonding between the option card
and the PC chassis.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - Since an outdoor antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure that the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet, and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
•
•
•
•
Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
Antenna Installation - When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines
or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Note to CATV System Installer - This reminder is provided to call
the CATV systems installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC,
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

HD Anisotropic
Filtering slider
Anisotropic filtering uses a texture filtering technique
that blends multiple texture samples together. The
number of samples taken when anisotropic filtering is
performed can vary. By moving this slider to the right, as
the number of samples taken increases, the quality of
the final image increases significantly. 16X provides
extremely detailed, crisp-looking images as a result of
the largest number of texture samples possible.
Selecting the Application Preference checkbox will
result in high-quality images, with a negligible reduction
in the application’s performance.

Texture Preference
slider
Choose between high quality or high performance
textures for your application. Moving the slider to the
right delivers the highest quality experience. Moving the
slider to the left emphasizes a high-performance
solution while still providing good visuals.
Mipmap Detail
Level slider
Choose the texture quality of the mipmaps the
application will use. Mipmaps are a collection of different
sized textures of the same image. As the user moves
closer to a 3D object the image quality should increase,
requiring a higher quality texture of the same image. The
base mipmap is the highest quality texture, and all
subsequent mipmaps are smaller sized textures of the
same image. Moving the slider to the right selects a
higher quality base mipmap, delivering the highest
quality application experience. Moving the slider to the
left selects a lower quality mipmap, delivering the
highest application performance.
Wait for Vertical
sync slider
Controls whether the Vertical sync is always on, always
off, or controlled by the application.
TRUFORM™ slider
TRUFORM™ is a technology developed by ATI that
enables higher-order surface rendering through
traditional triangle rendering APIs. It improves the
sillouhettes and lighting of objects.

Hardware crashes may occur when a hardware device and the
corresponding software device driver are no longer able to communicate
with each other. VPU Recover enables the ATI display driver to detect
when the graphics card is no longer able to respond to display driver
commands. When this situation arises, the display driver will reset the
graphics card. Depending on the current state of the system when VPU
Recover is activated, applications that are running may be able to fully
recover from this reset. In other cases, running applications may be closed,
and the user will be returned to the Windows® desktop.

Using TV Out
View your PC’s display on a TV
The RADEON™ X600 has TV Out capability. You can attach your card
to a TV and monitor at the same time. Or you can connect it to your VCR
and record your monitor’s display.
TV display is ideal for playing games, giving presentations, watching
movies, and browsing the Internet. The following tips will help you get the
most out of your TV Out feature.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
for European Customers
Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used
simultaneously with TV display. When you enable TV display
in Europe, the refresh rate for the monitor and TV is set to
50Hz. Some monitors may not support this refresh rate and
could be damaged.
•
Please check the documentation supplied with your
monitor to see if your monitor supports a refresh rate of
50Hz.
If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you are
not sure), then turn off your monitor before turning
on your PC when using your TV as a display.
For information on disabling TV display, see How To
Enable/Disable The TV Display.
Some TVs in Europe may use a SCART connection. If
you use SCART, please read Using SCART
Connectors for European TVs before attempting to
connect your PC to your European TV.

Starting Windows® with TV Display Enabled
The TV screen may become scrambled during the initial Windows® logo
display. This distortion is only a temporary effect, and your screen will be
restored within a few seconds.
During start up, your RADEON™ X600 will go through a sequence of
mode settings, during which your TV display will remain blank. This
process takes only a few seconds and programs the TV display.

The above illustration shows how to connect your PC to a European TV
using the SCART.
The SCART connector supports only the Composite video format, which
means you will have to use an S-Video-to-Composite video adapter cable
if your card only supports the S-Video connector.
If your European TV has S-Video In, you can use an S-Video cable
(available in most consumer electronic stores) rather than the SCART
connector if your card only supports the S-Video connector.
The RADEON™ X600 that only has the Composite out connector DOES
NOT support connection to TVs with S-Video In.

Using and Adjusting TV Display Features
For information about how to adjust TV display features, right-click the
ATI taskbar icon, point to Help, then point to ATI Television Display.
How TV Display Cannot Be Used
A TV cannot be left connected to the card if two analog monitors are
connected, 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 card when TV out is enabled. In both cases, your graphics
card will become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on all devices.
Using a Monitor vs. Using TV Display
Using your TV for your computer’s display can be useful, however, the
display on your monitor may change or looked squashed. This distortion
occurs because the display adjusts to fit the dimensions of your TV. To
correct the monitor’s display, use the monitor’s control buttons to adjust its
display size and position.
Some single-frequency monitors may not work with TV display enabled. If
you experience problems when TV display is enabled, disable TV display
to restore your monitor’s display.
Adjusting Monitor Display
The size of the display on your monitor may become smaller and not
perfectly centered when you have TV display enabled. These effects are
caused by the changes required to provide a proper display on the TV.
Use the controls available on the Adjustments tab on the Monitor
Properties page (accessible by clicking on the Monitor button on the ATI
Displays tab) to adjust the display on your monitor only. Click the TV
button to adjust the TV display only.
How TV Display Cannot Be Used 39
Viewing Text on a TV
A TV is designed primarily to show moving images. The large dot pitch of
a TV will yield poor quality static images. The small text sizes commonly
used for PC desktops can appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can
compensate for this degradation by using larger fonts.

When using a TV for your computer’s display, you may see some edge
distortion on the left and right side of your TV screen. This effect depends
on your TV and the computer application you are running.
You can reduce edge distortion by increasing the TV display’s horizontal
size or contrast.

Using TV Display Alone
If you plan to move your computer to a place where you are using TV
display only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled prior
to removing the monitor.
The maximum display resolution for TV is 1024x768. Choosing a
resolution higher than this will cause the TV display to disappear if it is the
only display device.
Using Games and Applications
Some older games and applications may program your RADEON™ X600
directly to run under a specific display mode. This may cause your TV
display to turn off automatically or become scrambled (the PC monitor will
not be affected). Your TV display will be restored once you exit the game
or if you restart your computer.
