If you use the AudioVision 14 Display with other devices that include software, such as as the Apple Adjustable Keyboard or third-party ADB devices, install the AudioVision software LAST. Software for some other devices may overwrite your display software. For example, if you install software for the Apple Adjustable Keyboard after installing software for the AudioVision 14 Display, the keyboard's Sound control panel may replace the display's Sound control panel. The result is that you lose the Volumes panel.
IMPORTANT if you also have the APPLE ADJUSTABLE KEYBOARD: When you finish installing AudioVision software, follow the instructions on your screen to Restart the computer. THEN TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND THE DISPLAY, wait 30 seconds, and turn them back on. Otherwise, the your computer will not recognize the display.
Removing AudioVision 14 Display software:
The AudioVision 14 Display software replaces your system's Sound control panel. If you remove the AudioVision 14 Display software, you'll need to put a Sound control panel back in by reinstalling your system software.
Setting up the AudioVision 14 Display for speech recognition:
The AudioVision 14 Display is compatible with the Quadra 840AV and Centris 660AV audio system, including speech recognition. During display set up, two steps are especially important for speech recognition:
1. When connecting the AudioVision adapter cable, connect the sound-in plug to the
external sound input port on the back of the computer.
2. Make sure the AudioVision's built-in microphone is turned on.
Using the <Kensington> Turbo Mouse <™>:
If you use the AudioVision 14 Display with the <Kensington> Turbo Mouse <™>, the mouse will not work if it is plugged into the ADB port on the display. You must plug the Turbo Mouse into the back of the computer. If your computer has only one ADB port, you'll need to buy a Y-adapter cable to accomodate both the mouse plug and the ADB plug on the AudioVision adapter cable.
Recording with external microphones:
The Apple Microphone does not work with the AudioVision 14 Display. Use the Apple PlainTalk microphone to record.
Using multiple displays:
In a multiple display setup, include only one AudioVision 14 Display. The AudioVision 14 Display software is designed to control only a single AudioVision display per system.
Inaudible Boot Beep:
If you use the AudioVision 14 Display with some Macintosh computers, you may not hear the "boot beep" when you turn on the computer. To hear the boot beep, plug the display into the wall (not into the computer) AND to turn on the display before turning on the computer. The inaudible boot beep occurs when the AudioVision's power cord is plugged into the computer AND the computer beeps before the AudiVision is fully powered up (and able to produce sound). The inaudible beep is known to occur in the Macintosh IIvx, IIvi, IIvm, Quadra 700, 800 , 900, and 950.
Power-Saver Capability:
When the software becomes available, the AudioVision 14 Display is equipped to take advantage of a "rest" feature that automatically dims the screen and conserves power after a set period of inactivity.
Video Slider Behavior With Keypad Control Combinations:
Pressing the Volume key, Mute button, or Microphone-on button in combination with the Brightness key or the Contrast key makes the slider behave erratically. For example, if you press and hold the top of the Contrast key to adjust the slider control upward AND press the Mute button at the same time, the slider control continues upward to the end—even after the keys have been released.
