Using the S-Video-out jack

The 7-pin S-Video-out jack connects the computer to an optional S-Video device such as a
television, VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video capture card.

The computer can support one S-Video device connected to the S-Video-out jack, while
simultaneously supporting an image on the computer display or on any other supported external
display.

NOTE

To transmit video signals through the S-Video-out jack, you need an S-Video cable,

available from most electronics retailers. If you are combining audio and video functions, such
as playing a DVD movie on your computer and displaying it on your television, you also need
a standard audio cable connected to the headphone jack, available from most electronics
retailers.

NOTE

The S-Video connection provides a higher quality image than a composite-video

connection.

To connect a video device to the S-Video-out jack:

1.

Plug one end of the S-Video cable into the S-Video-out jack on the computer.

2.

Connect the other end of the cable to the video device, as instructed in the documentation
included with the device.

3.

Press the

fn+f4

keys to switch the image between display devices connected to the computer.

NOTE

If the S-Video-out jack on the computer is not accessible because the computer is

connected to an optional expansion product, connect the S-Video cable to the S-Video-out
jack on the expansion product.
