Turning a Video Device On and Off
To turn on a video device that is connected to the notebook, start
or restart the notebook. Or, repeatedly press the
Fn+F4 hotkeys to
switch the image. Pressing the
Fn+F4 hotkeys switches the image
among the notebook display, any connected displays, and
simultaneous display on the notebook and all connected displays.
Switching the image to a connected video device turns on
the video device.
Switching the image to the notebook display only turns off
the video device.
Changing the Color Television Format
Color television formats are modes by which television video
signals are sent and received. To send signals between the
notebook and a television, both the notebook and the television
must be using the same color television format.
The NTSC format is common in the United States, Canada,
Japan, and South Korea. The PAL format is common in Europe,
China, Russia, and Africa, and the PAL-M format is common in
Brazil. Other South American and Central American countries
may use NTSC, PAL, or PAL-M.
Region-specific formats are set at the factory for most
notebooks, but the region setting can be changed on any
notebook.
Color television format settings are changed in the Setup utility.
The Setup utility is not a Windows utility and does not support
the TouchPad. For information about using the Setup utility, see
the “Using the Setup Utility” section in Chapter 9.
