Q. TV-OUT is greyed out on my TV-OUT capable GeForce. How can I fix it?



Make sure you have plugged in and switched on the TV before you boot the computer.



Thanks to Roger Sheppard for this suggestion:

The GeForce needs to see a real 75 ohms AV input. However, not all TVs have this, and some have a

switch labelled 'Terminate' next to the AV inputs to turn the 75 ohms off to allow more than one TV to be

connected. If you are having this problem, especially with a smaller or portable TV, then try another TV

to see if this is a problem, or check for a 'Terminate' switch.



According to ASUS this may also be a problem caused by motherboards using a linear voltage regulator

that does not supply enough voltage to the GeForce, and therefore there is not enough voltage to maintain

TV-OUT. Read the 'What's all this with the original GeForce and motherboards not supplying enough

power?' question for more information and possible fixes.

Q. Does my VIVO module allow me to use Video for Windows applications or only

DirectShow?

Most manufacturer's drivers only allow for DirectShow access to the VIVO module, which means that only

newer applications can use the video in functions. However, ASUS provide a VfW 'wrapper' with their drivers,

which means that you can use both sorts of applications.
