Attaching the Composite TV-Out Adapter

Cable

Your computer has a TV-out S-video connector for connecting a television to the
computer. To connect a television, perform the following steps:

1.

Save and close any open files, exit any open application programs, and shut down
the computer.

2.

If the television has an S-video cable, plug the cable directly into the computer
at the TV-out S-video connector. If the television has only a composite cable
connector, connect the composite TV-out adapter cable that came with your
computer to the TV-out S-video connector on the computer (see Figure 2-5),
and then connect the other end of the adapter cable to the television's
composite cable.

Figure 2-5. Using the Composite TV-Out Adapter Cable

NOTE: If your television did not come with a composite video cable, you can
purchase one from from a local electronics store.

3.

Turn on the computer.

4.

Press to toggle between the television and the display. To enable
simultaneous display on the television and the display, refer to “Changing Display
Properties” in the system Help for instructions.
