Viewing the display on a television

The S-Video out jack on your notebook lets you view your notebook display
on a television screen using a standard S-Video cable.

To view your notebook display on a television:

1

With your notebook off, connect one end of a standard S-Video cable to
the S-Video out jack. For the location of the S-Video out jack on your
notebook, see “Back” on page 5.

2

Connect the other end of the cable to the Video in jack on your television
or VCR.

3

Turn on the television or VCR.

Important

If Pinnacle Expression is not on your Start menu, install it
from the Pinnacle Expression CD. Insert the CD into your
DVD drive and follow the instructions in the setup wizard.
For more information on using Pinnacle Expression, see
its online help and the online guide located on the program
CD.
