A: You can usually decrease the TV contrast and increase brightness control to get the better picture. Q: I connect using a NOTEBOOK PC, but no output is displayed on TV.
Q: I have an older model of a television. Would I be able to use my video converter with a television as old as this one? A: Yes, you may need a special adapter called an RF modulator. This device converts the composite video signal from your video converter to an Antenna signal, which can be viewed on your TV using Channel 3 or 4 or 13. You may also use a VCR in some cases. Refer to section D3 for more information.
