-
-
- From the Read Me included with this software:
-
- Information About Your AppleVision Monitor Software
-
- This document contains important reminders and the latest
- product information.
-
- Installation and setup tips
-
- Follow the instructions in the manual that came with your
- monitor to install the AppleVision software.
-
- * For a complete list of files installed by the AppleVision
- software installer see the last section of this Read Me.
-
- * After you set-up your monitor and install the AppleVision
- software, use the Monitors & Sound control panel to adjust
- the color and geometry settings. The monitor is pre-adjusted
- at the factory, but you can change the settings to better
- suit your viewing environment and preferences. You can
- adjust the color, brightness and contrast, image rotation
- and size, and many other screen geometry settings. Refer to
- the "Monitors (AppleVision Extras)" topic in Mac OS Guide
- for information.
-
- * Be sure to attach the ADB cable to the ADB port on the
- back of your Mac OS-based computer. This connection is
- required in order to use the advanced features of your
- monitor.
-
- * If you're upgrading from previous AppleVision software,
- and you have custom color settings you want to retain,
- export the settings as ColorSync profiles before using the
- new software. Otherwise, your old settings will be lost when
- you use the new software. For information on exporting
- ColorSync profiles, refer to your AppleVision manual.
-
- * The Sound control panel installed in the AppleVision
- Extras folder (inside the Apple Extras folder) is for use
- with third party (non-Apple) specialized audio hardware.
- See the documentation that came with your audio hardware to
- determine if you need to use the Sound control panel.
-
- * The Monitors control panel installed in the AppleVision
- Extras folder (inside the Apple Extras folder) is for use
- with monitor extensions on Macintosh 68040 computers and
- Power Macintosh 6100, 7100 and 8100 computers.
-
- * If you're using a Macintosh Quadra 840AV or Macintosh
- Quadra 660AV with System 7.1, use the Sound control panel
- version 8.0 to adjust the sound volume on your computer.
- This version of the control panel is provided on the System
- 7.1 installation disks.
-
- * If the shutdown dialog box erroneously appears when you
- use the AppleVision monitor with an Apple PowerBook Duo
- MiniDock or similar third-party product, try using an
- external keyboard connected to the monitor instead of the
- PowerBook computer's keyboard.
-
- * For the latest version of the AppleVision software, visit
- the product updates section of Apple's web site
- (http://www.apple.com).
-
- IMPORTANT If you upgrade your system software, you may need
- to reinstall the AppleVision software.
-
- Notes about Macintosh (or Mac OS) Guide
-
- * Instructions for using the Monitors & Sound control panel
- are in Macintosh Guide (called Mac OS Guide on some
- systems). When the Monitors & Sound control panel is
- active, the Guide menu also contains Monitors & Sound Guide.
- This Guide has the same information about using your monitor
- as Macintosh Guide, but does not contain information about
- other Mac OS features.
-
- * When you access a sound or monitor topic in Macintosh
- Guide, the name in the Apple Guide window will change to
- "Monitors & Sound Guide." When you access another topic, the
- name changes back to Macintosh (or Mac OS) Guide.
-
- * Some topics in Macintosh Guide may contain information
- that is incorrect after you install the AppleVision
- software. If a Guide directs you to use the Sound control
- panel or the Monitors control panel, refer to the
- instructions under the topics "Monitors (standard
- settings)," "Monitors (AppleVision extras)," and "Sound" for
- correct information about using your AppleVision monitor.
-
- Sound and video tips
-
- If your AppleVision monitor has speakers and a built-in
- microphone, the following tips may help you:
-
- * At high volume levels, playing some sounds may cause
- patterns or distortion of the screen image. The audio
- circuitry in the monitor is high-powered in order to provide
- excellent sound quality, not loud volume. Reducing the
- volume setting will prevent the image from being affected by
- the sound.
-
- * If an audio or video application, such as Apple Video
- Player, is in use, you might not be able to change the sound
- input setting in the Monitors & Sound control panel. This
- occurs because the application is using the sound driver and
- won't allow Monitors & Sound to change the setting. To
- change the Sound Input setting, quit the other application;
- then change the setting.
-
- * On Macintosh Quadra 840AV & Macintosh Quadra 660AV, and
- PowerBook 540c computers, the Mute checkbox in the Sound
- window of Monitors & Sound does not mute the sound. If you
- select the checkbox, the X is removed automatically and
- sound is not muted.
-
- * On Macintosh Quadra 630, Macintosh LC 630, and Power
- Macintosh 6200 computers, make sure you specify the correct
- sound input setting in the Monitors & Sound control panel.
- For these computers, choose Line In in the Sound Input
- pop-up menu.
-
- * On Macintosh Centris 650 computers, sound input is
- automatically set to microphone if you have one connected to
- your computer. In order to record from another source, such
- as the internal CD player, disconnect the microphone from
- the computer.
-
- * On the AppleVision 850AV monitor, in some cases when the
- monitor goes to sleep, sound may briefly play through the
- monitor speakers even when the speakers are muted. This
- occurs when you have a live, line-level microphone plugged
- into the monitor's sound input port and the Monitor Sound
- Preferences are set to "Mute Monitor Speakers while in
- Energy Saver Mode".
-
- Other tips
-
- * If the corners of the screen image appear discolored, the
- monitor rotation setting may need to be adjusted. See the
- topic "How do I adjust the screen geometry settings" in the
- "Monitors (AppleVision extras)" section of Monitors & Sound
- Guide for instructions.
-
- * Some application programs do not properly support
- resolution changes you make to your monitor. You may have
- to close and restart your program for the program to
- recognize the resolution changes.
-
- * If you get an error message when opening the Monitors &
- Sound control panel that says the System AV extension needs
- to be installed, and you already have the extension
- installed, there probably isn't enough memory available to
- load the extension. Try disabling some extensions or control
- panels, or turning on Virtual Memory, in order to allow the
- extension to load during startup.
-
- * If you set the Auto Recalibration feature so that it
- activates after a resolution change, your monitor will
- recalibrate when you start up or restart your computer. This
- happens because the monitor changes resolutions during the
- startup process. You can turn on the "Ask before
- recalibrating" option to display a dialog box that will
- allow you to cancel the recalibration before it occurs. Or,
- turn off Auto Recalibration for resolution changes to
- prevent recalibration. Refer to Macintosh Guide for more
- information about recalibration settings.
-
- * Changes you make to screen geometry apply only to the
- monitor's current resolution. When you change resolution,
- the geometry of the screen may also change.
-
- * If you have the Radius Soft Precision Color extension
- (version 3.1.1) installed, you should remove it before using
- the AppleVision software. The extension provides
- multi-resolution support for Built-in video on Quadra and
- Centris computers using system software without the Display
- Manager software. It is not needed with the AppleVision
- Software because Display Manager is automatically installed
- as part of the Display Enabler extension.
-
- * When you're adjusting the monitor using the buttons on the
- front of the monitor, press one button at a time. If you
- press more than one button at once, the settings might
- change to all the way up or down. If you are using an
- AppleVision 1710, pause for a second between pressing one
- button and another. Rapidly switching which button you press
- can sometimes lead to errors.
-
- * If your AppleVision 1710 monitor is connected to a
- PowerBook computer, and the PowerBook goes to sleep, the
- buttons on the front of the monitor may stop working until
- you restart the computer.
-
- * On Macintosh Quadra computers with EnergySaver version
- 1.1, always wake up your monitor by moving the mouse.
- Waking up the monitor by using the keyboard can cause your
- computer to freeze and scramble the screen image.
-
- * If you change from an AppleVision monitor to a
- small-screen (14" or less), fixed-resolution monitor, set
- the resolution of the AppleVision monitor to 640 x 480
- before turning off your computer and disconnecting the
- monitor. This will prevent scrambled video during the
- startup process on the small-screen monitor.
-
- ATI Xclaim GA Update
- The AppleVision software version 1.5.3 supports resolutions
- of up to 1600 x 1200 on some AppleVision monitors. See the
- documentation that came with your monitor to determine if
- your model supports this resolution. Some video cards, such
- as ATI's Xclaim GA, will support this resolution but may
- require an updated monitor driver from the manufacturer. ATI
- is currently creating this update; please contact ATI
- customer service for more information.
-
- Note: The ATI graphics card included with the Power
- Macintosh 9500 does not support 1600 x 1200 resolution and
- cannot be modified with the new Xclaim GA driver.
