Starting Windows® with TV Display Enabled

The TV screen may become scrambled during the initial Windows® logo
display. This distortion is only a temporary effect, and your screen will be
restored within a few seconds.

During start up, your RADEON™ X800 PCIe Series will go through a
sequence of mode settings, during which your TV display will remain
blank. This process takes only a few seconds and programs the TV display.

TV Display Hardware Restrictions

A TV cannot be left connected to the graphics card if two analog monitors
are connected to your RADEON™ X800 PCIe Series card, even if the TV
is off and not enabled in the software.

Similarly, an analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector should not
be left connected to your RADEON™ X800 PCIe Series card when TV
Out is enabled. In both cases, your RADEON™ X800 PCIe Series will
become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on all devices.
