(1/2) > >>

Pioneer:
After putting about $500 into my 4 player desktop mame arcade I can't get a picture to the television

This is my video card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102441

I thought it would work but I must be missing something
No matter what settings I try in the video properties menu, I cant get it to recognize the composite video to the TV

Please help if you can

Fat_Trucker:
I had a similar issue setting up a Radeon 9700 recently. The problem was with the TV rather than the card. My TV needed to be manually changed to the right extension (EXT 2 in my case) and then changed in the setup menu to tell it I was sending an S-Video signal to it. It was defaulted to AV.

Could be your problem is something similar.

Could also be that your card isn't detecting the TV. Check in your ATI control panel and if it isn't recognising a TV then there should be an option to 'force TV detection' or something like that.

Pioneer:
Thanks for the help, but I cycled through the inputs already on the TV and the TV is kind of older so it doesn't have S-Video.

I'm gonna try the force dection option as soon as I get home.

I'm gonna keep trying stuff.

Pioneer:
I just called the guy at ATI to ask about my video card
He said there's no way to have a video card boot up to TV out
He said you will always have to do it manually.

Is this true?

Flinkly:
it shouldn't be, but he should know best.  a tv is just another monitor, and it's not like you have two different video cards.  wierd.
