Pat: The TV I run my iBook through has a bunch of different inputs. Input 1 is on the front of the TV and there are several more on the back. I have to tell the TV which input I want displayed by cycling through the various Inputs on my remote (there's an Input toggle switch there). For example, when my son wants to play his GameCube, he has to set the TV to the correct input. If you still have the manual that came with your TV it should tell you how to connect and run something like a camcorder or video game player and it should tell you how to tell the TV which source to display. I'm pretty sure your Video 1, 2 and are the equivalents of what my TV calls Inputs. Hope that helps! Ken On 1/7/03 6:48 PM, "Pat D.
