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.
