Before proceeding, you must set up a connection for the printer via the IR port. See Chapter Four

link to an IrDA-compliant printer such as the HP 5P, click on the Infrared icon in the Control
Panel (Start/Settings/Control Panel/Infrared). The IR software will detect the printer's IR port.
Now try the Print option in an application.

Using a TV Receiver

Your WinBook XL comes equipped with a TV-out jack that allows you to direct the screen
output of your system to a television screen. You will need to purchase a A/V cable which is
capable of fitting your jacks. The TV-out jack and the audio-out jack on your WinBook XL are
not adjacent, so, if you want video and audio, you will want to purchase a cable that will be able
to reach both jacks. If you want to enable the television output for your WinBook XL, follow the
directions below.
[Sidebar: Pencil icon: Your system does not come equipped with a TV-in jack, but you can direct
video input to your display screen through the ZV port (see below).]
Turn off the computer. Open the back I/O port cover and locate the TV-out jack in the rear
panel connector compartment. Locate the stereo line-out jack on the left side of the computer
(the one with the musical note icon).
One end of your A/V (audio/visual) cable has two jack plugs: one black and one yellow.
Insert the yellow plug into the TV-out jack. If you need sound, insert the black plug into the
stereo line-out jack.
On the other end of the cable, insert the yellow plug into the video input jack on the TV
receiver. If you need sound, insert the red and white plugs into the left and right channel
audio input jacks.
Turn on your computer and turn on the power to the TV receiver. As your notebook starts up,
prepare to hit the [Del] key. Watch for the prompt "Hit <Del> if you want to run SETUP"; it
will go by quickly. Press the [Del] key to start the BIOS Setup program. In the Advanced
Setup page of the utility, highlight the item "TV Display Type." Press the PgUp/PgDn keys to
change the value of the item to either PAL or NTSC, according to the format of the TV
receiver that you are using. Save the changes to the setup utility and restart your computer.
After your computer has started and Windows has loaded, click the right mouse button on the
Windows desktop to open the desktop menu. Click on ^Properties^ to open the Display
Properties window. (You can also get to this menu by double-clicking on the Display icon on
the taskbar.)
Click on the ^CHIPS^ tab and make the appropriate changes in the ^CHIPS^ window.
Click on the appropriate radio button to change the display to TV. After you have selected
the TV display option, pick the correct television standard (NTSC or PAL).
[Sidebar: Pencil icon: NTSC is the U.S. colored TV standard, which broadcasts 525 lines of
resolution transmitted as 30 interlaced fps (frames per second). PAL is the European colored
TV standard, which broadcasts 625 lines of resolution transmitted as 25 fps.]
You will now need to adjust the display resolution and colors. With the Display Properties
