Your computer has a TV-out S-video connector for connecting a television to the
computer. To connect a television, perform the following steps:
1. Save and close any open files, exit any open application programs, and shut down
the computer.
2. If the television has an S-video cable, connect the S-video cable from the TV to
the computer's TV-out S-video connector.
If the television has only a composite video cable connector, plug the composite
TV-out adapter cable that came with your computer into the TV-out S-video
connector on the computer (see Figure 2-7). Connect the other end of the
composite TV-out adapter cable to the television's composite video cable, and
then plug the composite video cable into the TV.
NOTE: If your television did not come with a composite video cable, you can
purchase one from a local electronics store.
3. Turn on the computer.
