1. INSTALLATION PROBLEMS

Q1. The default Creative TVCoder port address clashes with one of my
peripheral cards.

A1. Creative TVCoder uses 5 port addresses beginning with one of the
specified addresses. For example, if the hardware jumper is set
to 220H, Creative TVCoder uses addresses from 220H to 224H.

Either change the port address of the other peripheral card, or
change the port address of the Creative TVCoder card. You can
find a list of available port addresses in Appendix C of the
manual.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2. There is no image on TV or PC monitor.

A2. Check that the following is in order:
a) The port address jumper is set correctly.
b) The TVDRIVER.EXE entry in the CONFIG.SYS file is changed to
reflect the correct port address.
c) The cables connections between Creative TVCoder and your VGA
card is set correctly.
d) The cable connections are tightly secured.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q3. The cables supplied with Creative TVCoder cannot fit into my TV.

A3. The cables supplied with the Creative TVCoder card are S-Video
cables and composite RCA cables. Check that your TV can accept
input from at least an RCA cable. (Most modern TV's will have
such a connection.)

If your TV does not have the RCA input, then you will have to
hook up the output of the Creative TVCoder card via a VCR.
Connect the output (either RCA or S-Video) of the TVCoder to the
input of your VCR, and connect a separate cable from the RF
output of your VCR to the RF input of your TV.

Consult your TV technician for more details on these cable
connections.

=====================================================================

2. ALIGNMENT/SETUP PROBLEMS

Q4. There is no color on the TV output, or there is very bad display
on the TV output.

A4. a) Check that the Video Standard setting matches your TV.
b) Check that the color output is enabled (use TVPanel and look
at the Toggles box).

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q5. TV output is horizontally off-center.

A5. Use the Horizontal Pan setting in TVPanel or TVAdjust to shift
the display to the correct position. (Refer to the manual for
more complete details.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q6. TV output is vertically off-center.

A6. Use the Vertical Pan setting in TVPanel or TVAdjust to shift the
display to the correct position. (Refer to the manual for more
complete details.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q7. VGA output does not fit into the TV output.

A7. This may happen particularly with NTSC-M output (or the 60-Hz
output formats). Not all of the VGA output may be put onto the
TV. Use the vertical and horizontal pans to fit as much of the
important areas to be seen. Alternatively, try to tweak the
size of your output such that it will always be visible on the
TV output.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q8. VGA output is stable but the TV output is jerky.

A8. You might have switched to a new VGA mode which the Creative
TVCoder card cannot yet lock onto.

Use the Vertical Alignment setting in TVPanel or TVAdjust to
align the TV output. Refer to the manual (or the TVPanel
on-line help) for more complete details on how to perform this
critical alignment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q9. VGA output is horizontally off-center.

A9. The VGA output is off-skew and you will need to use the
Horizontal Alignment setting in TVPanel or TVAdjust to re-align
the display. Refer to the manual (or the TVPanel on-line help)
for more complete details on how to perform this critical
alignment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q10. Diagonal bands are running across the TV output.

A10. This sometimes becomes obvious when using RCA output. Use the
Color-run Frequency adjustment in TVPanel or TVAdjust to
fine-tune the TVCoder card and minimize the effect of the
diagonal bands.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q11. TV output still does not have color, although the TV standard
(PAL or NTSC) is set correctly and color is enabled.

A11. The Color-run Frequency value may be out of bounds. Twiddle
with the Color-run Frequency adjustment in TVPanel or TVAdjust
to re-align the Color-run Frequency.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q12. TV output is clear but seems to vibrate.

A12. The Color-run Frequency value may be out of bounds. Twiddle
with the Color-run Frequency adjustment in TVPanel or TVAdjust
to re-align the Color-run Frequency.
