TANDY 1000 TX  (250-1600)   Connecting TV to a 1000TX   Faxback Doc. # 1258

When hooking up a T.V. to a 1000 TX, the customers will encounter a
screen that does not display the bottom 3 or 4 lines.  This occurs because the
computer is using a scan rate for a monitor, and a monitor has a higher
resolution than a T.V. The computer is sending a picture that is too big for 
the T.V. You can boot up the computer into the T.V. mode by pressing the <F2> 
key on boot up.  When you do this the computer  changes its scan rate to a rate 
the T.V. can use.  When you use the <F2> key on boot up, you will notice that 
the screen displays a 40  column mode. After booting with the <F2> key you can 
issue the MODE 80 command and the T.V. will display the 80 columns without the 
loss of lines at the bottom.
