Using Your Computer

External Video Support (VGA, Composite, and S-Video)

Your computer has a video out port you can use to connect an external display
(monitor) or VGA projector, using the Apple VGA Display Adapter (available at
www.apple.com/store).

You can also display or record computer images by connecting a TV, video projector, or
videocassette recorder (VCR), using the Apple Video Adapter (available at
www.apple.com/store).

Note: The Apple Video Adapter is not compatible with some previous models of eMac.

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.
