Connecting a Television to the Computer
NOTE: Video and audio cables for connecting your computer to a television are not included with your
computer. Cables may be purchased at most consumer electronics stores.
Your computer has an S-video TV-out connector that enables you to connect the computer to a
television. Using a commercially available S-video cable or composite video cable, you can
connect the computer to a television in one of two ways:
• S-video (for a television with S-video input)
• Composite video (for a television with only a composite video input; also uses a composite
TV-out adapter cable)
NOTE: Diagrams for each connection combination appear at the beginning of each subsection to help
you determine which method you should use.
The audio connector on the side of the computer enables you to connect the computer to your
television or audio device, using a commercially available audio cable.
When you complete the cable connection, see "Enabling the Display Settings for a Television"
on page 60 to ensure that the computer recognizes and works properly with the television.
