Title: Radeon 9700 AIW connecting to tv via S-video
Post by: phokur on June 03, 2007, 07:58:36 PM

How are you supposed to hook this card into your tv with a s-video cable? The s-vid out looks different than the cable. (fits the tv so I know it's a s-video card). Am I missing a common adapter or something?

thanks for the reply! I read the links, my apologies, my card turns out to be a 9700AIW series. This is what it looks like:

I'm not sure if this uses the dongle:

like the 9600 does. It didn't come with one, and also it has a s-video in and s-video out right on the card. The 9600 just had the vga out and s-video in that this dongle came with:

Mine did come with one of these, but that only plugs into the s-video in, not the s-video out.

Hope that's not too confusing. My card looks just like this:

only vga instead of dvi. Both s-video (in and out) are identical looking. As you can see niether are standard s-video. I know the s-video in uses that purple thing, but not sure what the out uses.

from what i can see it looks like your missing the all-in-one cable not the purple dongle for input

Thanks for the reply! That's exactly what I'm missing! Where do I buy one?

check with ati    i guess ,   I take it you were given this card  and did not purchase it as it should have come with that piece from the manufacture,  if bought from a dealer return it .for a complete package.  the missing piece will only fit that card
