ATV 2 on a 480i Toshiba CRT TV (16:9 capable)?

Will it work on my TV, which can only support 480i?

Should; mine is hooked up to an older Samsung CRT HD-ready monitor that is 480i/480p/1080i capable (it's an older 4:3 screen). I didn't try 480i though in the settings -- I went straight for the 1080i option!

  • G4 Mac Mini with Toshiba CRT HDTV

    Hello all. I'm trying to hook up my Mac Mini (original G4 model) to my Toshiba HDTV (30HF85) using a Dvi to HDMI cable (DVI-D; a basic cable purchased from amazon). Unfortunately, I'm not getting any picture at all - just a black screen. I'm sure that neither the cable nor the hdmi port are faulty; I ran another mac (2005-6 G4 Powerbook) through the cable to the TV, and got a very clear picture. Likewise, the mac mini is still in working order, and connects with no problem to an any VGA monitor via the included DVI-VGA adapter. I have a suspicion that it has to do with the cable I purchased - it's Dual link. I've read in some places that this shouldn't matter, but in others, that this is a problem for older mac minis. Any ideas about what's going on here?

    Since you have two Macs, I recommend you try the following:
    • Hook up the G4 PowerBook to the TV and open Displays preferences on the PB and make note of the resolution in use that is giving a very clear picture.
    • Enable screen sharing on the mini (using a computer monitor if you have to)
    • With the mini connected to the TV, share its screen to the PB and from the PB you should be able to set the mini to the exact same setting that is working so well from the PB.
    About your dual-link question, I doubt that's the problem. HDMI to dual-link doesn't even make sense because and HDMI connector doesn't have enough pins to hook up to a dual-link DVI connector.

  • DVI to CRT???

    I just got a Mac mini for Christmas and want to hook it up to my television as a media center. My TV is a 27 inch Toshiba CRT. I'm using the DVI to Video adaptor with an s-video cable from the Mac to the TV. Out of the box, I booted up, got a picture and worked my way through the system set up. Got to the desktop, opened up System Preferences>Displays and tried a different resolution. BAM! The screen starts jumping all over the place. At this point, I only have a wireless keyboard and I can't read the screen at all. I take the mini in to my local Apple store and the Genius there tells me to reset my PRAM. He demonstrates for me in the store and tells me I'll need to find a wired keyboard to make this work at home. I also notice that his LCD monitor is showing at least a dozen more resolution options than what I had for my CRT, so I know that the computer is talking to the monitor. Anyway, I track down a corded USB keyboard and reset the PRAM again at home. Still no dice. Getting very frustrated and feeling very stupid. HELP!

    You can probably get a "sane" picture by starting in "Safe Mode". Using the the wired usb keyboard, hold down the Shift key for about 30 seconds, immediately after hearing the starting up chime or beep.
    Starting in safe mode will take a bit longer than normal, and some services such as WiFi won't be available. But it should put a basic resolution up on the screen that will work with the TV, while you experiment with tweaking System Prefs > Displays.
    BTW, I'm curious ... was there anything wrong with the picture that you initially had, before you went to display preferences?

  • 32" CRT TV acting odd:

    We have a Toshiba CRT Television, 32" made in 2004.  Model# 32A33 that all of a sudden wouldn't turn on with either the remote or by the on/off switch on the set itself.  We unplugged it and plugged it back in after about 10 minutes and still nothing.  Moved it to another room and hooked up our 20" so we could at least have TV.  Now a week later we decide to plug the big TV back in to see what happens and it worked!  So...we move it back to the living room to watch the Indy 500 and right after the race was over the volume started going down all on it's own.  You could turn it back up with the TV button but it would go right back down.  The remote didn't work at all again.  Couldn't turn TV off with the button on the set either.  So...it's unplugged and moved again.  Any ideas?

    My 32A33 is acting crazy.  (only about 8 years old).  It will switch between TV/Video1/Video2, then the menu will pop and start switching through choices. It is like it is possessed.  I tried unplugging it to reboot it.  That did not work.  Tried using menu button on TV (that did not work).  Will try and figure it out.  I have seen this described on other sites but so far no answer.

  • Can't see movie playlists in ATV section of iTunes

    I created a playlist of home movies in iTunes 8.2.1, using ATV files made with QT Pro. The playlist has a music icon.
    When I look in the ATV movie section on iTunes, I don't see the playlist as a selectable item for syncing (I'm using custom sync for all categories). I also don't see the playlist in the ATV music section. If I add the playlist to a folder, it then shows up in the music section, but can not be selected.
    I'm using ATV software 2.3.1 which should have this capability. Also using OS 10.4.11, and everything else with ATV works fine, including playing the movies if they not in playlists.
    Appreciate any help. Ron

    Chenks-
    Yes, on ATV I have "All" playlists enabled.
    I upgraded to ATV 2.4 and have the same settings.
    I now see that in iTunes 8.2.1, the movie section for ATV does have a choice box for sync selected, but it's either "movies" or "playlists" separately. There does not appear to be a choice for movies and playlists combined, in case I wanted to select just a couple of playlists.
    It seems to be all or nothing. Is this the way it's designed? If so, I hope Apple will add another choice for movies in the next ATV or iTunes update (the way it works for music playlists & folders).

  • Best tv for non-hd viewing

    I'm in the market for a new TV but do not have HD channels and really do not plan on getting them. I now have a Toshiba CRT tv and for standard broadcast it is great, it's defiantly not HD but still very good. Im looking for a TV (LCD or Plasma) that will give me similar results . Thanks , Tony

    A 60hz tv will not delay the gameplay of the wii due to a couple reasons. The wii does not run off of 60 hz, it's actually a little slower. The 60hz processing speed pertains to High Definition speeds and the wii console runs of standard definition. This means that the tv will have a speed that tops out at 60hz and the wii is not running at that fast of a speed. High definition cable/satellite runs of 60hz, and high definition sports and movies (especially blu ray movies) run of 120hz. If you were to have a 60hz tv and were running a blu ray player on it, then you would see a delay or more then likely trailing behind fast action due to the fact that the tv is trying to keep up with the image moving across it.
    As for selecting a high definition tv and running standard definition on it, all images will look grainy unfortunately. There is no point in spending more money on a 1080p if you're not planing on upgrading to high definition, so I'd say a 720p is enough. If you were interested in watching movies on a blu ray player or streaming movies through netflix, then these are ways you can see a clear picture on the high definition tv, otherwise most channels you watch in standard definition on a high definition tv will have two black bars down the sides of the screen. This is the tv's way of compensating for the lower signal so that your picture is not further stretched or distorted. Without those bars, the picture would look worse.
    Hopefully this helps a little and can help you in making a tv selection. My parents have a wii and a 60hz tv and there are no problems and it is simply hooked up with rca cables. If you hooked up a dvd player and there was no delay, then there would be no delay on the wii either due to the rca cable speed being the same.

  • Title Button Weirdness

    Dear fellow DVDSPers,
    I'm currently making a DVD that includes 4 episodes of a TV show on each disc and 5 chapters for each episode. I linked everything up correctly and set the Title button for the disc to be the Main Menu. Well after I made the first batch, the quality control guy here found some weird behavior with the Title button. If he navigates to one of the scene menus, and plays a chapter, then scans all the way through to get to the end, it end jumps him back to the scene selection menu, which is what it should be doing. If he then pushes Title, it starts playing the episode from the beginning. If he pushes the Title button before playing any of the scenes, it takes him back to the Main Menu, same goes for if he pushes it during the episode itself.
    I can't explain it to him. I have no idea why a button would change it's operation based on playback. He's watching it off of a Toshiba CRT TV with built-in DVD and VHS player, so the other editor and I are inclined to say it's that particular DVD player since it works 100% fine in my MacBook Pro and in the Sony DVD player I have hooked up to my DSR-11 and thus my monitor. The other editor just suggested to me that I include a Default Button on the Main Menu, and that maybe that's the problem, so we shall see once I encode that and burn another copy, but outside of that, any other ideas?
    -Brian

    I think that's exactly how it is supposed to happen...
    The Title button is a direct link to your top menu. In effect, it's a specialised menu call. The menu call works like a resume function, i.e. if you play a clip and press the menu button you go to the menu for that clip. If whilst in that menu you press the menu button a second time, you resume playback from where you were. At this point, different players may vary, but you see the same clip playing again. Others may see slightly differently, but in effect you've gone back to the track. Like a resume. The important factor here is that you've played a track and the resume information has been stored.
    If you navigate to a sub menu anywhere in the structure and then press the Title button you'll go to the title menu - in your case, the main menu. In this situation you've not yet played a track, so no resume info is stored and so to the top menu you go.
    I may have misunderstood what you've described, and I may not have got the explanation quite right, but in essence you are seeing what you should be seeing from the description you've given of the structure you've used

  • How to use it with gift card?

    Dear Sir,
    My niece bought the Apple TV to me, but I could not use it because I do not know how to install.  My friend said it does not support in my country, Thailand.
    I have wifi and rounter to play internet.  Please advise me how to install.
    Also, if i buy a gift card, what kind of gift card i should buy. 
    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    Regards,
    Lex

    FYI: you are not speaking to Apple here, this is a user forum.
    Here are the requirements for ATV
    HDMI cable
    High-definition TV with HDMI and capable of 720p
    Wired or wireless network
    iTunes Store account
    Broadband Internet connection (fees may apply)
    How to setup
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Apple_TV_2nd_gen_Setup_Guide.pdf
    If there are no movies available in the iTunes store in your location then you can't rent via ATV (Make sure you have movies available before you get the gift card). You can still stream content from your computer, but it must be on and running iTunes

  • HP B209 Wireless Set-up...H​ELP!!

    Just purchased new HP B209 all-in-one.  Here's my set-up:  HP desktop PC running XP; internet delivery via Comcast modem to Belkin N+ wirelss router.  PC is not wirelss capable, so ethernet cable runs from wirelss router port to ethernet NIC card in PC.  Installed B209 using USB cable from printer to PC.  Install went as per instructions, worked fine.    Now I  want my new Toshiba laptop to be print capable.  Can I do this while leaving the printer attached via USB to the desktop PC?  Do I have to remove the USB cable and establish a wirelss connection between my Belkin router and the printer?  This is so confusing!  What is the best way to set this up?  Thanks!
    P.S.  I did attempt the "Change the HP Photosmart from a USB connection to a network connection" step, and when asked to select the printer, my printer was available.  However, after selecting it and going to the next step, I got an alert stating that the printer was not connected...it was!

      Tried the wireless install with no luck.  Uninstalled everything and called HP support.  Support states that you have to hook the desktop to the printer via USB...no way around it.  So, intall with USB printer works great, but cannot get either my XP or Windows 7 laptops to connect wirelessly.  Call HP support again.  Long story short....after 2 hours and 13 minutes on the phone with HP support, even they cannot get a single laptop to connect wirelessly.  Two hours of my life I'll never get back.... 
      No MAC filtering, changed wireless router to channel 11, changed all modes of security (WEP, WPA, WPA2), even turned security off.  No luck.  The printer passed all internal tests.  I know my router is good..so is the laptop.  What else do I try?
      I've been an HP dude for a long time now, but this is probably the straw that has broken the camel's back.  If HP support can't get it to connect wireless, how am I supposed to be able to?  I paid for a wireless printer, so I guess I'll take it back and try another brand, though I hate to.  This really sucks.  Vent complete!

  • What drivers do I need for my Satellite A100-912

    When i open the www.toshiba.com driver page, i saw notebooks of a series below
    A100-S2211TD
    A100-S2311TD
    A100-S8111TD
    A100-ST1041
    A100-ST1042
    A100-ST3211
    A100-ST8211
    There is no listed my notebook. My notebook's model is A100-912.

    Hi again
    All I know is that Toshiba will support all vista capable notebooks but as you know it will not happen in one or two days. You must imagine that Toshiba bring sometimes more than 20 different notebooks models every quarter and Vista support is pretty big deal at the moment.
    I am pretty sure Toshiba will support newest and latest model at first and offer more end more stuff for other vista capable units.
    As I can see you have A100. Friend of mine has bought A100 last week and immediately made participation on Vista upgrade program and very soon he will get Vista upgrade and separate Toshiba CD with all necessary Toshiba stuff.
    In your case there is small difference because you have Vista from other sources and unfortunately must wait for download from Toshiba page. I know that everybody of us want to have this soon but the whole support action is not so simply like all of us think. I believe that drivers are not the problem but Toshiba tools and utilities must be prepared and tested properly.
    Sorry Murat but you must have patience and wait. Other way you can try to find some drivers on hardware manufacturers download pages. Later you can install all stuff additionally.

  • Is my laptop the problem with slow usb3 speeds?

    I'm sporting a dv6-7200ea system, as standard, and have bought a toshba stor.e Basics 2tb USB 3.0 portable hard drive.
    Toshiba state that it is capable of 5gbit speeds whereas the maximum i can attain is 100mb (1gbit?).
    I have asked toshiba directly and they say the problem lies within my laptop, not their hardware.
    Is this true? If so, what causes it??

    Unfortunately, Your notebook model does not have the extra space for a second SATA hard disk. I checked in the Maintenence & Service guide for your notebook series to see if if did. Models like the Envy17-3002ea, which I am currently using as a loaner, are optionally equiped with a pair or 750 GB hard disks. 
    Best regards,

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M60, supposedly Bluetooth capable and have just purchased this mouse and have followed the mouse's instructions but it will not communicate with my laptop. Bluetooth software on the laptop says that Bluetooth is not ready. How do I make it ready? Will this mouse work on this computer?
    Thanks,

    Does Toshiba offer a free download to allow my Satellite M60 to work with the MS BT 5000 mouse?
    Ok, I'll try again.  Unless you purchased a Satellite M60-S8112ST or M60-S811ST and at the time of purchase specified and paid for the internal Bluetooth hardware, you don't have the internal hardware.  There is no 'magic wand' download that will create hardware out of thin air.
    I don't want a USB add-on. I have no ports left to spare even with two extenders, so it would have to be a download of software or a free card that I could install myself. Would you happpen to know the answer?
    I cannot speak for Toshiba, but I strongly doubt that there is a card, free or otherwise, that will provide you with what you want. AFAIK, a USB adapter is the only solution.

  • Will Apple TV Version 1 Upgrade to Provide HBO GO?

    Here's the situation:
    I just moved into a new condo where the previous owner very generously left behind his entire TV-Audio setup.  There's some great stuff, though it's all a bit outdated.  Among the treasures is an Apple TV box, version 1.
    When I first accessed Apple TV I discovered it was running software version 2.4.  This means I can watch YouTube, purchase streaming media via the iTunes Store, access my PC's iTunes music and video libraries via WiFi and a few other things.  Very nice, and it's all working fine.
    But I also want to stream HBO GO, and it's not offered in software version 2.4 for ATV v.1.  Would it be offered if I upgrated the ATV software to the latest and greatest?  I have no idea, and I haven't been able to find out from reading this forum or any other place I can find on the web.  So why not just upgrade and see?  Apparently I can't.
    ATV tells me that an upgrade is available and I choose it and it downloads via WiFi -- takes a good while -- and then when it comes time to install I get a warning that the system may restart several times during the upgrade process.  And then it does restart, and then I see a picture of an AppleTV v.1 with a blinking question mark above it and that's where everything stops.  Apparently I can watch that blinking question mark all day and nothing will happen.  Then I have to unplug the ATV to reboot and I find myself right back at software version 2.4 with the system asking me once again if I want to upgrade.
    So...two questions:
    1) Is there a way to force my ATV to upgrade?  With no danger of bricking it?
    2) Is there really even an upgrade for ATV v.1 that will give me HBO GO capability?
    And...an answer to a question I'm anticipating:
    Why not just buy a new ATV v.3 because, I mean, they're only about $100?
    Because I want analog output and ATV v.3 doesn't offer analog.  It's a long story and it's related to my Denon amplifier which won't output digital sound (HDMI or optical) to Zone 2 and I want to use that Zone 2 feature for the speakers on my deck and yes I could get a switcher box to solve that problem but still I want to watch HBO GO anyway so....
    Can Apple TV version 1 be upgraded to provide HBO GO?  And if so, what do I need to do to stop getting stuck at the blinking question mark?  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1) No.
    2) No.

  • Windows Vista / Aero on my Equium M70

    Hi. I have just downloaded Windows Vista RC1 for my M70 that I only bought a couple of months ago from Curry's. It has the Vista capable sticker on it and the salesperson confirmed that Vista will run properly with the 3D enhancements.
    Of course I want to have the full experiance of Windows Vista. Yet Windows Aero will not work on my machine because of the graphics card: Mobile Intel(R) 82915GM/GMS/910GML. I have not bothered installing the basic version yet. I have done some research for the past few hours. The hardware meets Vista's requirements yet it is the Intel driver that needs to be updated and Intel have not released the driver as yet. I have e-mailed them regarding this and they said that it is not their policy to release information regarding software that may or may not be in the works. They also pointed out that Vista has not officially been released yet.
    All I want to know is, will Intel release a driver to make my machine/chipset compatible with Windows Aero, even after Vista has been oficially released? It has seriously got on my nerves that my notebook I have spent so much on may not be up to scratch.
    Please help!

    Hi
    I have found this info on one of the Toshiba European websites about Vista.
    The "Windows Vista Capable" designation is given to Windows Vista Capable Toshiba notebooks that fulfill the minimum requirements below. Toshiba notebooks with the Vista Capable logo can be upgraded to support the Windows Vista operating system.
    A Windows Vista Capable notebook includes at least:
    - A modern CPU
    - 512 MB or more of system memory
    - A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable
    All Windows Vista Capable notebooks will be able to run at least the core experiences of Windows Vista. To enjoy the complete Windows Vista experience, including the Windows Aero user experience, ask for a Windows Vista Capable notebook that is designated Premium Ready.
    The "Windows Vista Premium Ready" designation is given to a Windows Vista Capable notebook that meets the minimum recommended requirements for Home Premium, Ultimate, Business or the Enterprise edition of Windows Vista.
    Features available in specific premium editions of Windows Vista, such as the ability to watch and record live TV, may require additional hardware.
    - 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
    - 1 GB of system memory
    - Support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum), Pixel Shader 2.0 and 32 bits per pixel
    - 40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space

    As mentioned the Vista is not official on the market and if you need any drivers for Vista you have to wait until the Vista will be official released

  • Tecra M1 - Trident XP4 drivers for Vista?

    Hi.
    One simple question, will Toshiba prepare a compatibile driver with Windows Vista for Trident XP4 graphic card? I took place in Microsoft Beta program but on my M1 Trident had to work as Standard VGA Graphic Card. Or maybe some other drivers are available?

    Hi
    We will see
    I found on the Toshiba page some information about the Toshiba notebooks which are Vista capable. I think Toshiba will release firstly the drivers for such kind of notebooks
    Everything else is only a speculation
    Technical Support Forums Question pages say that this is only a user-to-user forum and therefore I dont think that you will find here someone directly from the Toshiba.
    So only what we can do is to wait till next year and to hope that we will get the Vista drivers for our notebooks
    PS: I have installed Vista on my A50 and everything run ok so I need only a driver for my Wlan car. But its a Intel wlan card and therefore I will check the Intel site for the drivers
    Happy X-mas ;)
