Connecting a TV
You can connect a TV directly to your computer.
In order to be able to use a TV screen, you also have to enable the TV output function.
Your VAIO desktop is delivered with a TV/video out cable (or ’converter cable’), which is for use with TV sets
without an S-video port.
Connecting a TV that has no S-video port
To connect a TV to your VAIO desktop with the supplied TV/video out cable, proceed as follows:
1
Plug one end of the TV/video out cable
into the TV/video out port on the back of
your computer.
2
Take your composite cable (not supplied)
and connect one end to the inserted TV/
video out cable.
3
Connect the other end to the yellow-
coloured port (video-in) on your TV set.
The video output is now in place.
4
Connect the single end of your audio
cable (not supplied) to the headphones
port, either on the back of your computer
or on the connected speaker.
5
Connect the double end of the audio
cable to the red and white ports
respectively on your TV set.
The audio output is now in place and your
TV is ready for use with your computer.
