i have a geforce fx5900 128mb video card, and i have an s-video cable, and was wondering how to get the desktop picture to my tv through the video card. it has an s-video input on the back of the card, and so i connected the s-video cable from the card to the front of the tv. however i don't see a picture on the tv, ive tried component 1, component 2, and video 1,2,3,and 4. what am i doing wrong? i tried the nvidia faq, and it said my tv must be set to line-in or AUX. what does this mean? i have a panasonic pt-47wx51 (high definition) tv. if anyone has any tips please let me know.

thanks in advance.

Make sure you have selected the proper format (NTSC for N America, Japan, or PAL for elsewhere)and country. This option should be in the nView software.
