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).
1Follow 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.
2Attach the grounding clip to the S-video port of the video input card, if it isn’t attached already.

3Continue 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.
