s-video output problem on T41p

#1 Post by citimeta » Sun Feb 12, 2006 8:50 pm

I have a T41p and some avi, divx and rmvb files on it. I tried many times to output signals to a Tv but failed everytime using T41p. What bothers me is that a Toshiba or Dell does the job perfectly. Everything but video images can be transmitted to the TV. Anybody has the problem?

Check the Overlay tab in Display Properties, Advanced settings. Overlay should be set to Theater Mode for video to work on TV.

It could be caused by a bad S-Video cable or bent pin. It could also be caused if you are using a S-Video to Scart converter.

or most likely not outputting the correct video format, you need PAL for Holland I think, look at the advanced tabs.

also make sure you enable the output before you start playing the video. dont be playing the video and trying to enable it.
