Using the PC

Connecting the PC to a
Television

Your PC has TV-out capability, which means you
can connect it to a television to view the PC image
on a TV. With the TV-out feature, you can view the
PC image, watch DVD movies (if you have a DVD
drive), or play games on your TV.

To connect a TV to the PC, you may need a video
cable and an audio cable. The type of video cable
depends on your TV. If your TV has an S-Video
jack, you need an S-Video cable. If your TV has a
composite video jack, you need a composite video
cable and, depending on the jacks on the back of
your PC, an S-Video adapter cable.

Connecting to a TV Set

1. Turn off the PC.

2. Connect the TV cable using one of the

following scenarios, depending on the
connection jacks on your TV:
❏ If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect an

S-Video cable from the S-Video In jack on
the TV to the S-Video jack on the back of
the PC.
