Tv Out Question

[harrycary]

For the record, that is an analog signal you are unplugging. There is no data transmission occurring. Therefore no problems will occur.

what happens if i have the tv out enabled? does anything get damaged?

it did with me once

just be safe: analog plugs on digital receivers are not hot pluggable

so when tv out is enabled, nothing should happen if i pull it out while the pc is still on? doesn't that mean there's power going through those lines?

if you pull it, there shouldnt be any issue.


its when u plug it in while the comp is plugged in that causes the problems... the power surge from the TV will fuck ur card........

if it was going to send a surge back to the card that could wreck it, why would it matter if the computer was on or off?

Lets get this straight.

The yellow composite video-out on a graphics card is what&#39;s called a line-level signal. A very small amount of current(<.5mv) carries the signal out of your video card.

Unplugging it while your PC is powered on will do no harm.

Plugging it in while your PC is powered on will do no harm.

Any consequences are purely coincidental and should be recognized as just that.

just be safe: analog plugs on digital receivers are not hot pluggable

This makes no sense whatsoever.

does that work the same way for the rca side of the cable? the side that plugs into the tv? all i&#39;m asking is, while the pc is on, will anything happen if i plug and unplug?
