Update to Your Manual

This document contains five sections that update your
manual. When you reach the corresponding sections in your
manual, return to this update first for information.

The information in this update applies to you whether your
manual is the Apple TV/Video System User’s Guide or the
Apple Video System User’s Guide.

What you should have

In addition to the items shown in your manual in the section
“What You Should Have,” in Chapter 1, look for the metal
grounding clip for the video input card (as shown below).

Grounding clip

Note: The grounding clip may be attached to the video

input card, or it may be a separate piece in your package.

Installing the video input card

Before you install the video input card in your Macintosh
computer, make sure that the metal grounding clip is
attached to the S-video port on the card. Without the
grounding clip, devices attached to the S-video port might
not receive sufficient power.

The following instructions apply whether you are installing
the card in a compact computer (a computer with a built-in
monitor) or in a modular computer (a computer with a
separate monitor).

1 Follow the instructions in your manual up to and including

the step (in the section called “Installing the Video Input
Card” in Chapter 1) that tells you to remove the video input
card from its static-proof bag. Then return to this update.

2 Attach the grounding clip to the S-video port of the video

input card, if it isn’t attached already.

3 Continue the installation process as shown in your manual.

Start with the step following the one where you removed the
card from the static-proof bag. Make sure the grounding clip
stays attached to the video input card when you install it.
