HP recommends using the S-video connection. If the only connection available on your
TV set is composite video, HP suggests using a good quality standard cable in order to
get the correct signal to your TV set. For more information on composite video
connections, contact HP Technical Support.
The S-video port provides video output only. For audio output, use the headphone jack.
The S-video port is optimized for DVD display. Performance may vary when using the
S-video port for other applications.
