MaxView Cinema Kit

Quick Install Guide

INSTALLATION

Step 1 - Turn off your computer. Disconnect your monitor’s VGA cable from the

VGA card on the back of your computer.

Step 2 – Connect the MaxView’s VGA cable to VGA card on the back of your

computer.

Step 3 – (Optional) Connect your computer monitor to the VGA-Out connector on

the MaxView. If you are connecting to a laptop, you may not have a monitor to

connect in this step. Note that a computer monitor is not required to use the

MaxView.

Step 4 - Connect the MaxView to your TV, VCR, or projector using either the

composite video (RCA) or the S-Video*cable.

Step 5 - Plug the 5V AC power adapter into an AC outlet and connect the power

cord to the MaxView.

Step 6 - Turn on your computer and your TV set. If you do not see an image on

the TV (or projector), continue with the System Setup section below.

SYSTEM SETUP

The MaxView will work at any of the following display settings:

•640x480 at 60-85 Hz refresh rate

•800x600 at 60-75Hz refresh rate

•1024x768 at 60-70 Hz refresh rate

In Windows, these settings are made in Display Properties. To get to Display

Properties, right-click a blank area of your desktop, click Properties at the bottom

of the menu, and then click the Settings tab.

*Note: The S-Video connection is a newer video standard. This type of

connection improves color, clarity, and resolution. We recommend using the S-

Video connection whenever available.

Not all TV's have S-Video or RCA connectors. If your TV does not, you will need

to connect to another device (usually a VCR or a RF modulator) that will provide

the proper signal output to your TV. The scan converter does not provide a proper

signal for the antenna input of a TV (F-connector). See connector information on

next page.

CONNECTOR TYPES

S-Video or S-VHS (Best)

This is a 4-pin DIN connector. The S-Video

signal will give you the best TV image. It is not

found on all TV's or VCR's. Use this cable if

you have the connection available on your video

device. The S-Video connection provides the

highest quality signal.

RCA / Composite (Good)

This connector carries the composite video

signal. If your TV does not have direct video

inputs, you will have to connect the scan

converter to your VCR or RF modulator. The

RCA/Composite connection provides a good

quality signal.

F Connector (Poor)

This is a threaded connector used to connect an

antenna or cable box to the TV or VCR. The F

connector is for RF (radio frequency) signals

only. If your TV only has this type of

connection, you will need to convert the

RCA/Composite signal to RF before you can

view it on your TV. A VCR or a RF-Modulator

(available at Radio Shack) can be used to

convert the signal. The RF connection provides

the lowest quality signal.

IMAGE QUALITY

Several factors affect the quality of the TV image.

The TV standard (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) cannot match the higher image quality

achieved by PC monitors. Small text and numbers do not display very well on a

TV. Graphic images usually display much better. Therefore, the type of image

being displayed is a determining factor of how well it will be displayed.

Be sure to view the actual application you wish to display on the TV before making

any adjustments. Other screens may not appear the same on the TV.

TELEVISION

•Some TV’s will have better quality than others (not always determined by cost)

•Use the S-Video (S-VHS) connection, whenever possible.

•Adjust for color, sharpness, contrast, and brightness for best image.

ADJUSTING FONTS

If your display has smaller text and numbers, the following suggestions may help:

In Windows, you can specify the font you use for the different areas of the

Windows Desktop. To get to your Display Properties just right-click a blank area

of your desktop - click Properties at the bottom of the menu - and click the

Appearance tab at the top of the dialog box as shown on the next page.

The graphic below shows how to set the font for the different areas of Windows.

The example shows how to change the size of the Desktop Icon font:

Select Icon from the Item pull-down list.

The graphic on the next page shows you how to change the size of the font. Select

the size you think will work and click the Apply button. If this setting is not

suitable for your needs, choose one higher or lower that you like better. Note that

the default font size is 8-point text. Standard printed text is 12-point. The list goes

up to 18-point text but this setting may be too large.

Note: The Scheme selection from the Appearance screen also allows you to adjust

font sizes in other areas of Windows.

INTERNET EXPLORER

You can select a larger font for displaying the Internet pages you are showing on

the TV. Click View - Fonts - and select a larger font for better viewing. Note that

Medium is the default font size for the normal screen view.

Connections:

•Check the power connection to the scan converter.

•Check the connections from the scan converter to the PC.

•Check the connections from the scan converter to the TV.

TV (or VCR):

•RCA connections to a TV or VCR must be to the Video Input (yellow)

connector.

•If you are connected directly to a TV with a S-Video or RCA cable, ensure

that the TV has been configured to accept auxiliary video input.

•If you are connected to the TV through a VCR, ensure that the TV and VCR

have been configured to accept auxiliary video input.

An input button on the TV or VCR’s original remote control often sets the video

input mode. This mode is needed for both S-Video and RCA video connections.

The button may be marked Video, Video-1, Aux, Input, Vid, Line, Line-In,

TV/VCR, etc. On some TV’s and VCR’s this setting is made by selecting Channel

2, then pressing the Down Channel button. If this does not work, refer to your TV

(or VCR) owner’s manual.

Settings: Check that the computer’s Display Settings are set correctly.

o640x480 at 60-85Hz

o800x600 at 60-75Hz

o1024x768 at 60-70Hz

Laptops: Laptops must be set to External-only or Simultaneous VGA display

mode. This is usually done with a hot-key combination (Fn + function key). Refer

to your laptop manual for further details.
