Using a television as a monitor

There are two ways to use a television as a monitor:

m As described in the previous section, you can connect a VCR to the

computer’s S-video output port, and connect a television to the VCR’s
Video Out port. Then you can record a presentation on videotape as it is
displayed on the television.

m You can connect a television directly to the computer’s S-video output port

and display the computer’s images on it. This capability is especially useful
if you’re using your Macintosh to give a presentation and you have access
to a large-screen television. If your television does not support S-video,
attach the adapter for composite video as described earlier in this chapter.
(Be sure to use the adapter marked with the

Æ icon.)

For further instructions on using a television as a monitor, see the “Video”
topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (

h) menu.
