Troubleshooting The display on the add-on monitor is blank. ■ If the monitor power is on (LED lights green in most cases), wait a moment for the monitor to show the video as sometimes it takes time for the add-on monitor to show the video. You can also reboot your system to try again. Also make sure the computer is not in standby or hibernation mode, which will lead the add-on monitor to be blank. ■ If the monitor power is in standby (LED lights red in most cases), check the connection.
When playing the video in full screen mode, the motion is not smooth. ■ Reduce the resolution of the display to 640x480 or 800x600. ■ Use the adapter in extended mode. ■ Terminate any other CPU intensive applications running on the computer. ■ As some media players require DirectX hardware support to correctly operate, try a different media player which requires less DirectX support. ■ Drag the media player to the add-on screen and close the player.
In extended mode, the add-on monitor appears to have a black border around the desktop. ■ This happens when the resolution used by the addon monitor is larger than the resolution used by the primary monitor. To solve this problem, configure the add-on monitor to use the same resolution as the primary monitor. No screen when playing back the protected contents. (varies by model) ■ Some protected videos may not be played back when connecting to a DVI monitor.
