Television Connection
Your NEC Versa VXi is equipped with a RCA TV out port that allows you to use a
television as an external display device in the Windows environment. The RCA TV out
port requires an RCA-to-RCA cable and a television equipped with a standard RCA
input jack.
The TV out port supports 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 display settings. However,
for optimal resolution when using the TV out port, select the following settings:
!
640x480 when the video output device is a television.
!
800x600 or 1024x768 when the video output device is an LCD panel or an external
monitor (CRT).
To change display settings, access Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display, and select the
Settings tab.
