I was using my God-Brother's Projector connected to the S-Video and it was ok, not great though! Anyway I noticed the projector had a DVI input so bought a 12 Foot DVD-DVI cable and BAM!! now much better quality. I think the new X800 card have this new HD-TV feature? -- Wayne ][ |

Leadfoot,
There are contrast/colour saturation options in the Control Panel | Settings | Advanced | Displays | TV Tab, but presume you've already found those? Also, have you tried just connecting the video card directly to your TV? It could be your VCR messing with the picture. There's also one other thing you can try, if you have a long enough RCA cable: Use the S-video - RCA adapter that came with your video card (very important you use the one that came with the card, otherwise your picture will be black and white) and connect this to your TV via an RCA cable, for troubleshooting. I'm doing this via a wireless A/V sender (i.e. sending the A/V signals from my sound + graphics cards through a couple of walls in my house, to my living room setup), and it works great.

Anyway I noticed the projector had a DVI input so bought a 12 Foot DVD-DVI cable and BAM!! now much better quality. no DVI connectors, The tv is about 4 years old, The Yamaha Home theather receiver is about 2 years old. I do have a DVI out on the 9800 Buying a HDTV is a ways off for me I tried hooking up to the TV bypassing the receiver and no improvement its a tolerable picture just not cystal clear like the cable input to the same TV The computer is DIY Windows XP Media Center, looks great on my 21' monitor of course it has a bit more resolution ;-) I think the new X800 card have this new HD-TV feature? -- Wayne ][ |

Found them haven't played with them yet want to gather more info on ATI s-video out before I do Also, have you tried just connecting the video card directly to your TV? It could be your VCR messing with the picture. Tried that, the Yamaha is a home theather receiver not a vcr There's also one other thing you can try, if you have a long enough RCA cable: Use the S-video - RCA adapter that came with your video card (very important you use the one that came with the card, otherwise your picture will be black and white) and connect this to your TV via an RCA cable, for troubleshooting.

Have you tried the various video output standards (NTSC, PAL, several variations thereof)? If that's not the problem I'd try a different TV if I had one. If the white lines are still there then I'd suspect a defective board. Are there any good links t o a page on ATI video out toubleshooting? Only ones I know of would be http://www.rage3d.com and the HTPC section of http://www.avsforum.com. You'll have to do some searching on either. Any ati s-video utilities available? Or one that identifies the chip providing s-video. The s-video on the Radeon 9800 comes out of the R350 or R360 chip. There's no separate chip for it. Any other advice, tips or tricks.

Mine are much longer and run all over the place. They work fine. GL Dan |
