Connecting a TV set
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 video 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 video out cable, proceed as follows:
1
Plug one end of the video cable into the S-video/video Combo
output port on the back of your computer.
2
Take your composite cable (not supplied) and connect one end
to the inserted video 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 or front 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.
* If your TV does not have an S-Video port, it should have a composite port to
connect it to your VAIO desktop.
