Viewing the display on a television
Important
The TV out feature is available only on
computers that have a Video out or
S-Video out jack.
The dialog boxes shown in this section
are for demonstrative purposes only and
may not represent the screens on your
computer.
To turn on external video by default,
connect the television (or other external
video device) before starting your
computer.
Audio is not transmitted through the
Video out or S-Video out jacks. Use a set
of headphones or external powered
speakers to hear sound while playing a
DVD. DVD playback to a VCR will be
scrambled by copyright protection
software.

or VCR.
