Select “Display Video on Television”; then select NTSC Standard, PAL Standard, or “Use

flicker-free format,” and click OK.

6

Click Switch in the dialog box that appears; then close the Monitors control panel.

You can’t see the color wheel or other items.

This problem can occur if you use a single monitor and it is not attached
to the second monitor port. (See “Connecting the Monitor Cable to an
AV-Equipped Macintosh Performa 6100 Series Computer,” earlier in this
appendix, for an illustration of the two monitor ports.)

The color wheel, and other color-choosing features, are set to be displayed on
a screen that has the greatest color depth. On AV-equipped computers, the
second monitor port may provide the greatest color depth. Even though you
have no monitor attached to the second monitor port, your computer assumes
that a monitor is attached there, and attempts to display the color wheel on
that monitor instead of the real monitor.

Follow these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu, and open the Monitors control panel.

The Monitors control panel displays two pictures representing monitors, even though

you have only one monitor.

2

Click the picture that represents the “ghost” monitor; then click Black & White.

3

Close the Monitors control panel.
