+ | As of now, you go to the //System settings -> Console Settings -> Display//. There is menu item //Reference Levels// with | ||

+ | |||
+ | Then I went and played around with resolution. I mean from 1920x1080 -> 1650x1080 and back and there we go. Screen | ||

I've used two cinch(F) -> cinch(F) connectors, one 2xcinch(M) -> 1xjack 3.5mm (M) cable and connected to sound card via Line-in. | I've used two cinch(F) -> cinch(F) connectors, one 2xcinch(M) -> 1xjack 3.5mm (M) cable and connected to sound card via Line-in. | ||

+ | One noteworthy thing I've noticed. I'm not sure whether it is my sound-card or the cables, but channels, left | ||
+ | and right, were switched despite the coloring of the cables. Instead red-to-red and white-to-white, | ||
+ | to connect red-to-white and white-to-red. Otherwise you'll end up with **switched L <-> R audio channels**. | ||

+ | ===== Live! and Billing address ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have to put this slight annoyance up. I have to. While redeeming your code, eg. pre-paid membership card, you have to enter | ||
+ | billing address and telephone number. Telephone number. Really? Seriously? Never mind, I've seen this one elsewhere as well. Moving on. | ||
+ | Ok, you enter billing address of yours only to find out: //" | ||
+ | enter valid billing address."// | ||
+ | don't know, perhaps they' | ||
+ | locale works for me and I'm not going to change it. I hope you didn't want me anything important, because there goes fake-ish address. | ||
