Connecting to a TV or a VCR

To connect your graphics accelerator card to a TV or a VCR, use a S-Video cable. However, most TVs (and VCRs) have a Composite video input, in which case you can use the supplied S-Video-to-Composite video adapter. If your TV has cable input only, you can connect your card to your TV through your VCR or an RF modulator (available in most electronics stores).

Connecting S-Video Out to a TV or VCR

1Turn off your PC and your TV (or VCR).

2Ensure your card was installed correctly as per the Getting Started Guide.

3Determine if your TV (or VCR) has a S-Video or Composite video connection.

4Looking at the back of your PC, locate your S- Video Out. Using a S-Video cable or the supplied adapter, attach one end of the cable to your graphics card and the other to your TV (or VCR). Refer to the illustration for further help.

5Turn on your PC and your TV (or VCR).
