To connect a television
Note
At the time of this printing, Windows NT 4.0 does not support a television
connection. Check the HP website at http://www.hp.com/omnibook for updates.
If your television has an S-video port, you can connect it to the OmniBook and use
your television display as a monitor. If you have a newer model television, you can
connect an S-video cable (available at most computer stores), directly between the
television and OmniBook. If your television does not have an S-video port, you’ll
need to order the HP video cable adapter (HP F1459A).
1. From the Start menu, shut down the OmniBook.
2. Connect the S-video cable to the OmniBook.
3. Connect the cable to the S-video port on the back of your television.
4. Turn on the OmniBook.
5. From the Start menu, click Settings, Control Panel, Display.
6. Click the Settings tab, then select TV. (You can select any or all of the choices:
CRT, TV, LCD).
NTSC and PAL Television Standards
If your television uses the PAL standard, you’ll need to change the default BIOS
setting from NTSC to PAL.
1. From the Start menu, shut down, then restart the OmniBook.
2. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
3. From the Main menu, select Television Type, then select PAL.
4. Press F10 to save and exit.
To connect audio devices
There is a built-in microphone located just below the OmniBook display. You can
use it to record voice, sound, and music. You can also plug in a stereo input source,
(such as a CD player), an external microphone, external speakers or headphones.
