connector of your graphics
card.
Note:
TV output isn’t supported with full-screen DOS display modes (for example, the
information you see before Windows starts) or with standard VGA mode (for example, when
you restart Windows in “safe mode”). Older programs may use these display modes. While
one of these display modes is in use, your TV displays nothing (black).
WARNING:
Don’t change monitor connections while your computer is turned on. While
your computer is turned on, it may be using monitor settings that are specific to the current
monitor connections.
If a display device (monitor, TV or video recorder) is connected while your computer is
using settings intended for another display device, the display of the new device may be
garbled or unusable. Some devices may be permanently damaged if incorrect settings are
used.
