The notebook features a 7-pin S-Video-out jack that connects the
notebook to an optional S-Video device such as a television,
VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video capture card.
The notebook can support one S-Video device connected to the
S-Video-out jack while simultaneously supporting an image on
the notebook display and on any other supported external display.
The S-Video connection usually provides a higher quality image
than a composite-video connection.
To transmit video signals through the S-Video-out jack, you need
an S-Video cable, available from most electronics retailers. If you
are combining audio and video functions, such as playing a movie
from a DVD in an optional MultiBay drive to a television, you
also need a standard audio cable, available from most electronics
retailers.
