Video Features

The notebook features a 7-pin, dual-purpose S-Video-out jack
that connects the notebook to an optional S-Video device, such
as a television, VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video
capture card, using an optional, standard (4-pin) S-Video cable.
The S-Video-out jack features three extra pins that enable an
optional S-Video–to–composite adapter to be used with the
notebook.
The notebook can support one S-Video device connected to the
S-Video-out jack while simultaneously supporting an image on
the notebook display and on any other supported external display.
The S-Video connection usually provides a higher quality image
than a composite video connection.
To transmit video signals through the S-Video-out jack, you need
an S-Video cable, available from most electronics retailers. If you
are combining audio and video functions, such as playing a
movie from a DVD in an optional MultiBay drive to a television,
you also need a standard audio cable, available from most
electronics retailers.
