2-6 Dell Inspiron 7500 System Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
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 <Fn><F7> 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.
