The current mode will be maintained, and should be restored the next time
the computer is switched on, and after the notebook returns from Standby
Mode or Hibernation Mode.
Restrictions of the Monitor-in mode under Windows XP
■ Disable the Windowsf Monitor Auto Off feature as this will override the
Monitor-in mode. If you do not do this, the computer's LCD will remain
blank even when you click the Monitor-in button to switch modes.
■ During the Monitor-in mode, any Windows messages will not be
displayed - you will need to disable the Monitor-in mode to see these.
■ When you switch to Monitor-in mode, the aspect ratio (the ratio of
length to width of the screen) is set to 4:3. You can press Fn + 4 to
change the aspect ratio in the order:
Normal -> Aspect Ratio of 4:3 -> Aspect Ratio of 16:9.
QosmioEngine is available only for the LCD and has the following
restrictions.
■ QosmioEngine does not support LCD/CRT, CRT, TV, LCD/TV and
Multi-Monitor.
■ Depending on the video being played, noise may be present.
■ When AV Input is performed while QosmioPlayer is running, the
Monitor Mode control button allows for toggling between QosmioPlayer
and AV Input modes).
■ External display output (CRT/S-Video out) may not be supported.
■ Text will be displayed in low quality while video is being played through
WinDVD or Software for TV. The QosmioEngine allows the computer to
clearly display video images, while trading this off against the rendering
of lower quality static data, such as captions.
■ Noise contained in original video images may increase when playing
them with QosmioPlayer. This is because the QosmioEngine not only
displays video images in high quality but will also do the same for any
noise they may contain.
