Hello everyone,
A while back there was a bit of a discussion regarding problems with
the DVD player initializing. This was because no monitor was
connected to the Mac mini.
Recently I had an old CRT monitor go bad. This unit was connected to
my Mac mini.
So, I decided to purchase a DVI to Composite or SVGA adaptor.
This adapter is around $19 and on one end it has the DVI connecter to
plug into the Mac and on the other end is a box with an RCA connecter
and a SVGA connecter.
I accessed the Video preferences and pressed the Find Display button
and the computer selected the correct driver.
The nice thing about this little item is that the computer is now
happy because it thinks it really has a screen connected to it. And
it lets the DVD player work just fine.
While I realize that most people will want a real monitor, I just
thought I'd mention this just in case someone would like to use this
on a Mac mini instead of purchasing another monitor.
