I've searched, on here and the net, can't find what I'm looking for.
On my 9200 card, there is a jumper with "NTSC PAL" above it. The,,,, thing..(oh my god, it's been a while) is covering the "PAL" side. Is this right? I am running a TV out from it, will I screw something up by messing with it? It looks like a normal 3pin jumper.
Sorry if this is a retarded question.

You are in the US right? TVs sold in the US are NTSC format. PAL is used in many other countries. Looks like you should put the jumper on NTSC.

Thats what I thought, but some of these jumpers are all nuts, while some are labeled like "this works with jumper on." some are like "this works with jumper OFF" without telling you, I was just making sure before I went and did something silly.
-
Bah, I can try it, see what it does.

Well, I changed the jumper, and uh....
Nothing happened.
Well not really, the windows loading screen didn't flicker and act messed up like it did before on the TV, but I thought that was normal anyway, after it loaded windows it was fine, but now it's no flicker ever.
Odd.

Indeed the jumper will have no effect on your TV OUT, however, you do have the option to change the signal to PAL through software, if you need it.
Display Settings > Settings TAB > Advanced > ATI Displays > TV-OUT button > Format.

Thanks for the post! I still wondering about this.
