Quick Start Guide for Tempo HD
Install the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel
The Tempo AV control panel enables you to select an optimized setting for the
playback of audio or video fi les from a drive connected to the Tempo HD when
you encounter problems.
1. Locate the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel on the Tempo HD hard drive.
2. Click on and drag the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel to your active
System Folder, then release the mouse button. When the dialog box
appears, click OK; the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel will be copied from
the Tempo HD hard drive and placed in the Control Panels folder.
Use the Tempo AV Tool Control Panel
Only use the Tempo AV Tool if you are experiencing problems with audio or
video fi le playback from a drive connected to the Tempo HD. The Tempo AV
Tool resolves playback issues by slowing down the data transfer from drives
connected to the Tempo HD to better match your legacy Macintosh computer’s
bus and processing limitations.
1. Click on the Apple Menu: Control Panels and select Tempo AV Tool; the
Tempo AV Tool control panel window will open (Figure 13).
2. Click on a radio button to make your selection, then close the window.
Note: If your initial selection does not remedy your playback issue, try other
settings on the list until all options are exhausted; different fi le formats
can exhibit different behaviors. The Tempo AV Tool cannot address
video playback issues related to insufficient or underpowered video
support.
