System Requirements  
To use the AVerKey300, you will need :  
IBMPC or compatibles;  
Any Macintosh that support up to 1600 x 1200 display mode;  
(MAC systems without the monitor output require a Power-R or Apple  
adapter); or  
Any NEC computer from the NEC 98 Series  
NOTE: AVerKey300 should in theory support any computer and  
display systems with a vertical display frequency range of 56Hz  
to 120Hz and a horizontal display frequency of 24KHz to  
108KHz. However, due to different custom hardware  
configurations and the wide variety of connectors used on  
various systems, we cannot guarantee that AVerKey300 will  
function properly.

AVerMedia AVerKey300 User’s Manual  
I have set up the AVerKey300 and checked all the connections as  
specified in the manual, but I can only get a picture on the VGA monitor,  
not on the TV screen.  
AVerKey300 is in the “Ready” mode once power is connected. You  
need to switch AVerKey300 “ON”, either from the remote control or  
from its touch button panel to display both VGA and VIDEO.  
The picture on my TV is distorted.  
1. Before doing any adjustments, reset all the picture attributes to the  
factory default setting using the “Reset” button on the remote control.  
2. Each VIDEO display device is slightly different from another. Use the  
Panning Control of AVerKey300 to adjust the picture.  
3. Use the Brightness and Sharpness picture attributes controls on the  
remote control to reduce the distortion.  
The picture on my TV is all messed up.  
1. When using AVerKey300 with the Macintosh, up to 1600 x 1200 can  
be supported.  
2. When using AVerKey300 with IBM PC compatible computers,  
screen resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 (horizontal frequency less than  
108.4KHz) is supported.  
There is no image on both my Macintosh monitor and TV.  
When you turn on the Macintosh computer, it will first auto-detect the  
type of monitor you have. During auto-detection, there won't be any  
display on your Macintosh monitor. To avoid this problem, connect your  
Macintosh computer, monitor and all the necessary cables to the  
AVerKey300 first before you power on your Macintosh computer.
