designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Known Issues and Limitations
This section lists known issues and limitations of PC to TV applications, including
some workarounds for trying.
7.8.1
PC to TV Limitations
In “Basic and High Contrast Themes” of Windows 7 / Vista, there are several
limitations with PC to TV application as follows. Therefore, it is recommended to
change the theme to “Aero themes”. Please refer to Section 7.6.1.

When playing a movie/video by Windows Media Center or Windows Media Player
through PC to TV application, it may show a middle horizontal line on the TV / Monitor.


PC to TV application could not support full screen of Windows Media Center.
When you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete while PC to TV application is playing, it would
freeze the TV / Monitor’s screen.

When setting password in Windows screen saver, it could not be supported by PC to
TV application.
It is not achievable while you want to play DVD movies by Windows Media Player
in Windows XP through PC to TV application; it is recommended to use another
media player, ex. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema.
It should be avoided to change any kinds of network configurations when PC to TV
application is playing, otherwise it may cause momentary disconnection or end
the connection directly.
47
8
Appendix
8.1

Display Resolutions
Generally speaking, the PC to TV device could support display resolution up to 1,440
x 900 (widescreen) and 1,280 x 1,024 (4:3 screen).

The PC to TV device is also able to support 1,920 x 1,080 (HDTV: 1080P), but the
following conditions are all required:
1. The PC is powered by 2nd Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 series CPU (Intel’s
codename: SandyBridge).
2. The operation system should be Windows 7 or above.
3. The PC’s graphic driver(s) should be updated to the latest one(s).
4. The working graphic on PC should be Intel’s graphic; AMD/ATI or Nvidia graphic is
not able to support it.
8.1.1

Principals of Resolution Implementation
After “Play” PC to TV application, the TV / monitor would follow the three principals to
implement the display resolution. By the way, the “Extension Screen” follows the
same principals, please refer to Section 3.3.1.
1. The resolution of PC’s desktop should be implemented on your TV / Monitor, once
it is within your TV / monitor’s EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
information. Please refer to your TV / monitor’s user manual to check its
resolution support table. If not, please see “Auto-720P”.
2. “Auto-720P” means the PC’s desktop resolution is higher then 1,280 x 720 (HDTV:
720P), but TV / monitor’s EDID does not support it and only supports 1,280 x 720,
then 1,280 x 720 would be implemented as the display resolution on both sides of
PC and TV / monitor. If not, please see “Auto-XGA”
3. “Auto-XGA” means the PC’s desktop resolution is higher then 1,024 x 768 (XGA),
but TV / monitor’s EDID supports neither PC’s desktop resolution nor 1,280 x 720,
then 1,024 x 768 would be implemented as the display resolution on the TV /
monitor.

For HDMI output, the supported resolutions of PC to TV application are only 1,920 x
1,080, 1,280 x 720, 1,024 x 768, and 800 x 600. If the PC’s resolution is not set at
one of them, the 1,280 x 720 or 1,024 x 768 would be implemented automatically as
the display resolution on the TV / monitor, after “Play” PC to TV application.
8.1.2

Resolution Implementation Table
The following two tables show the implemented display resolution of your TV /
monitor after “Play” PC to TV application.
48

If your PC’s desktop resolution is not set as one of the first column (Resolution Setting
of PC’s Desktop) in the tables, PC to TV application might work abnormally.

The implemented display resolutions shown below are only supported, but the
performance of PC to TV application might be not acceptable. Please refer to Section
2.2.2.2 and Section 3.3.2 to consider the balance between your PC capability and
display resolution.
