Viewing the display on a
television
The S-Video out jack on your notebook lets you view your
notebook display on a television screen using a standard
S-Video cable.
To view your notebook display on a television:
1
With your notebook off, connect one end of a standard
S-Video cable to the S-Video out jack
on your
notebook.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the Video in jack
on your television or VCR.
3
Turn on the television or VCR.
4
Start your notebook.
Important
To turn on external video by default, connect the television (or other
external video device) before starting your notebook.
Important
Audio is not transmitted through an S-Video out jack. Use the built-in
speakers or a set of headphones or external powered speakers, or connect your
notebook to a stereo system using the headphone jack to hear sound while
playing a DVD. DVD playback to a VCR will be scrambled by copyright protection
software.
Tip
Many newer televisions have a VGA port. For the best picture quality
possible, use the VGA port instead of the S-Video jack. For more information,
see
“Viewing the display on a projector or monitor” on page 49 .
Tip
For the location of the S-Video out jack on your notebook, see
“Left” on page 7 . For the location of the S-Video out jack on an optional
port replicator, see the port replicator user guide.
Tip
If you are traveling internationally, you may need to change the
video standard. For example, many televisions in Asia use PAL instead
of NTSC.
