Connecting the TV Signal Source When You Have an
Existing Setup
This section describes how to connect the signal source from
the wall to a VCR/DVD player to a TV using two coaxial
cables (not shipped with your computer or system).
1 Remove the coaxial cable from the VCR/DVD player
input, and connect it to the input of a coaxial cable signal
splitter (not shipped with your computer or system).
2 Connect two coaxial cables to the splitter outputs.
3 Connect one of the coaxial cables to the VCR/DVD
player input, and the other end to the coaxial adapter
cable (included with your computer). Connect the adapter
cable to the Antenna In port on the back of the computer.
Connecting a VCR/DVD player or Set-Top Box to the
Computer
There are three different ways you can connect a VCR/DVD
player or Set-Top box to the computer:
❖ Connect an AV Composite cable (not included) from the
VCR/DVD player or Set-top box to the Composite
Video/Audio Adapter cable (included with your
computer). Connect the adapter cable to the Composite In
port on the right side of the computer.
❖ Connect a coaxial cable from the VCR/DVD player or
Set-top box to the coaxial adapter cable (included with
your computer). Connect the adapter cable to the
Antenna In port on the back of the computer.
❖ For those VCR/DVD players or Set-top boxes that
support S-video out, connect an S-video cable from the
VCR/DVD player or Set-top box to the S-video In port
on the right side of the computer.
