To connect a TV to the computer

1

T

on the computer and the other to the TV.

3

Switch the input channel of the TV to external input.

4

Set up the TV configuration system.

✍

You need to use an AV cable that has a minijack connector on one end and 3 RCA (also called cinch) connectors on the other end. If your TV does not
have RCA connectors, but it has a SCART connector, you need an RCA to SCART converter. If your computer has an S VIDEO port, you can use this
port as an alternative means of connection.
