Connecting the display device
If you’re connecting a television or other video display device to
the computer’s video-out port, first refer to “Selecting video
cables” below for guidelines on choosing a video cable, then refer
to “Connecting to the video-out (composite) port” on page 56.
If you’re connecting an SVGA monitor, skip to “Connecting an
external monitor or projector” on page 57.
Selecting video cables
To connect a device to the video-out port, you need to purchase a
composite video cable. For the best video quality, always use a
properly shielded cable.
HINT: Toshiba recommends using a cable no longer than
20 feet (approximately 6 meters).
Using a poor quality cable may result in a dull or fuzzy picture,
poor color, ghosting, video noise, or loss of video.
Connecting to the video-out (composite) port
To connect the device:
1 Connect one end of the video cable to the external video
device.
Refer to the documentation provided with the device for the
location of its video-in port.
2 Connect the other end of the video cable to the plug on the
video port adapter (included with your computer), and
connect the other end of the video port adapter cable to the
video-out port on the left side of the computer.
3 Turn on the external video device.
