❖
Use the TV remote control to output the computer screen onto
the TV screen.
❖
Use the TV remote control to launch, operate and close
applications on your computer.
❖
Turn on the TV when the HDMI output is selected using the
Fn+F5
❖
Switch the video output (HDMI or LCD) when executing
certain desktop icons.
❖

Connecting the sound to a TV or stereo system
At times you may prefer to use external audio instead of the
computer's built-in speakers. For example, when you use a TV or
other external display device you can use that device's speakers, or
when you use the computer's built-in display you can connect to
external speakers or a stereo sound system for higher quality sound.
