Troubleshooting > HDMI/VIDEO Input Function n 183 N HDMI/VIDEO Input Function What should I do if I cannot change the volume or LCD brightness with the wireless keyboard? You cannot change the volume or the brightness with the wireless keyboard while using the HDMI/VIDEO input function. Use the OSD menu for brightness control. To change the volume, use the VOL buttons on the right of your computer or the volume control buttons on the remote commander (if supplied). See Using the HDMI/VIDEO Input Control Buttons (page 71) or Using the Remote Commander (page 74) for more information on volume control. ✍ While the HDMI input or the video input is selected as the audio/video input source, the corresponding indicator light illuminates in green (page 18). How do I view the Windows desktop? To display the Windows desktop, make sure your computer is turned on, and then press the INPUT/OK button on the computer (page 71) or the INPUT SELECT button on the remote commander (if supplied) (page 74) to switch the audio/video input source to the computer input. If your computer screen remains blank, see What should I do if the green power indicator light turns on but my screen remains blank? (page 147). How can I save audio/video signals receiving with the HDMI/VIDEO input function into a file? You cannot capture audio/video signals coming from the device connected to the HDMI INPUT port or the VIDEO INPUT jacks and save them into a file on your computer. It is logically impossible because the audio/video input source must be either the HDMI input or the video input to receive such signals and, to access Windows for any file operations, you must change the input source to the computer input.
