Using Your Computer With a TV or Audio Device
Use the adapters that came with your Dell computer to connect various electronic devices to your
computer:
• Composite video adapter
• Component video adapter
• Audio/IR Blaster adapter
Your computer has an S-video TV-out connector that, together with a standard S-video cable, a
composite video adapter cable, or a component video adapter cable, enables you to connect the
computer to a TV. You want to use the best input that your display or TV will support. The best options
are DVI and component. There are arguments for either one, depending on the exact display or TV type.
If neither one of these connectors is supported, then S-Video or composite are the alternate options.
The following section discusses the various adapters you received and possible configurations, depending
on the device you want to connect.
