Apple eMac 2005 - Manual (Page 33)

Chapter 3 Using Your Computer 33
When an external monitor or television is connected, the same image appears on
both the eMac display and the external monitor (known as video mirroring).
Note: Because of the display limitations of most televisions, images displayed on
a television screen are of lower quality than those on the built-in display or
external monitor.
Connecting an External Display or Projector
To connect an external display or projector to your computer with
a VGA connector:
1 Turn on the external display or projector.
2 Connect the Apple VGA Display Adapter to the VGA port on the external display or
projector.
3 Connect the Apple VGA Display Adapter to your eMac. Your eMac automatically detects
the external display.
Important: To ensure that your eMac automatically detects the external display or
projector, be sure the VGA adapter is plugged into the external display or projector
first.
4 Use the Displays pane of System Preferences to adjust the resolution on the external
display or projector.
Connecting a Television, VCR, or Other Video Device
To connect a TV, VCR, or other video device to the eMac:
1 Connect the single-plug end of the Apple Video Adapter to the video out port on
your eMac.
2 Connect the other end of the adapter to the composite video port or the S-video port
on the TV or VCR using a composite or S-video cable.
3 Turn on the external device.
4 To adjust how the images are displayed on the device, use the Displays pane of System
Preferences.
The image appears on both the eMac and the TV.
