CHAPTER 7: Troubleshooting Media Center This section only covers problems relating to Media Center mode. Media Center mode is available only on Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate versions. Help For more information about Windows Media Center, click Start, then click Help and Support. Type Media Center in the Search Help box, then press ENTER. The Media Center video display looks bad on your TV Many factors can significantly affect the video quality: • Cable connections-Loose cables can lower video quality. Check all cable connections. • Display type-The Media Center is best viewed on computer displays. Other types of display devices, including TVs, may provide lower quality video. • Type of connection used-The connection type has an affect on the video quality. Your computer has one or more video outputs. Use the highest quality output your TV and computer supports: • A/V cables (basic) • S-Video (fair, but not optimized for computer video display) • VGA (good) • DVI/HDMI (best) • Quality of video cables-Poor quality video cables can cause problems. Gateway recommends using high-quality video cables. • Screen resolution-Many TVs cannot display the high resolution that your computer's video signal uses, and may shift, scramble, or scroll the picture. For a better picture on a TV display, you may need to lower the computer's screen resolution to 800 × 600 or 640 × 480. For more information about changing the screen resolution, see your online User Guide. • Age of the TV-Newer TVs usually have more advanced features, produce a better quality picture, and support higher screen resolutions. 98
