Using your PC to TV Converter with Laptops |
||||||||
To get a converted image on the TV, you must configure the laptop computer to display an external VGA signal. Typically toggling to the external VGA mode is done by pressing a combination of two keys at the same time. Directions below... First hold down the "Fn" key. The second key is going to be one of the "F1", "F2", "F3" ~ "F12" keys. (The actual function key varies with each Laptop) On newer laptops, the key is labeled "CRT/LCD" or with a picture of "a monitor with sidebars on it". Reference picture below... |

Please refer to your computer's User's Manual for specific instructions for displaying an external VGA signal. Once you've found the 2 correct keys, press the function key first, and HOLD IT DOWN, and simultaneously press the function key. By default, the LCD panel is on. The first toggle attempts to power both the LCD panel and the external signal. In some cases, laptops do not have enough power to the LCD and an external signal, so only a scrambled signal is viewable on the TV. The third toggle turns off the LCD panel and shows only the external display (the TV, in this case). If you continue to get a scrambled signal with the LCD panel turned off, toggle the LCD panel back on and check that the resolution is set to an option supported by your PC to TV converter. If you are uncertain, begin by using 640x480.
