Turning a Video Device On and Off
When an S-video or composite-video device is on, an image is

A device that is connected to the system can be turned on or off
3ways:
■
Start or restart the notebook.
or
■
Repeatedly press the
Fn+F4
hotkeys to switch the image

On the ATI Displays tab in Windows, press the TV Power
button, then select the OK button. To access the ATI
Displays tab:
❏
In Windows 2000 Professional, select Start > Settings >
Control Panel. Double-click the Display icon, select the
Settings tab, press the Advanced button, then select the
ATI Displays tab.
❏
In Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional,
select Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes
icon > Display icon. Select the Settings tab, press the

The 3 methods for turning a video device on and off are
interchangeable. For example, if you turned off a connected
device in Windows, you can turn on the device by either restarting
the notebook or pressing the
Fn+F4
hotkeys.
To conserve power, turn off the device by using one of the
3 methods described above. Disconnecting the device from the
system without turning it off using one of these 3 methods will
not conserve power.
