Using the optional audio 
out connection

It is important to remember that both the S-video and
composite video cables only carry the video signal out
from your computer. In many cases the built in speakers
that came with your Macintosh computer or monitor are
better for presentations than the ones found in the televi-
sion. However, if you also want sound from the computer
to go to the VCR or television you need to use an addition-
al cable; miniplug-to-dual RCA-plug cable. This cable is
required if you want to record sound along with your pre-
sentation on to a video tape.

This cable connects the Sound output port on the back of
your computer to the Left and Right Audio-In ports on
either your television or VCR. In the following illustra-
tions, the optional audio connection using the miniplug-
to-dual RCA-plug cable is shown along with the required
video connection.
