Problems watching TV or video

If the Apple Video Player application is not anywhere on your hard disk, you need to install it from your
system software CD. See “Performing a Custom Installation” in Chapter 13.

The remote control doesn’t work.

m Make sure the remote control has a battery, or try changing the remote control’s battery. 

m Try moving closer to your computer. If you are already very close to the computer, point the remote

control directly at the remote control receiver on the front of the computer.

m The remote control won’t work for any application if the Disable Remote Control option is selected

in Apple Video Player. Open Apple Video Player and choose Preferences from the Setup menu.
Deselect the Disable Remote Control option (click to remove the X in the checkbox).

You can’t switch to TV when you press the TV/Mac button on the remote control.

m You may not have selected TV as your video source. Make sure that Apple Video Player is active,

then choose Show Controls Window from the Windows menu and click the TV Video Source
button.

The Power button on your remote control doesn’t work.

m You may have left a dialog box open. Close any open dialog box, then try the Power button again.

You see static or a blank screen when you try to watch TV or video.

m Be sure your video equipment is securely connected to the appropriate video input port and your

equipment is turned on. 

m Be sure your antenna or cable service is securely connected to the coaxial port on the back of the

computer.

m You may have the wrong video source selected. Make sure that Apple Video Player is active, then go

to the screen controls in the Controls window and click the appropriate Video Source button.

m Some static may result from poor reception over an antenna, or from problems with cable service.

Review the instructions that came with your antenna or cable, or call the supplier for assistance.
