Connecting a TV

NOTE: To connect a TV to your computer, you must purchase an S-video cable, which is available at most consumer electronics stores. An S-video cable is not included with your computer.

1Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 63.

2Connect one end of the S-video cable to the TV-OUT connector on the back of the computer.

3Connect the other end of the S-video cable to the S-video input connector on your TV.

4Connect the VGA or DVI monitor.

Changing the Display Settings

1After you connect the monitor(s) or TV, turn on the computer.

The Microsoft® Windows® desktop displays on the primary monitor.

2Enable clone mode or extended desktop mode in the display settings.

In clone mode, both monitors display the same image.

In extended desktop mode, you can drag objects from one screen to the other, effectively doubling the amount of viewable work space.

For information on changing the display settings for your graphics card, see the user’s guide in the Help and Support Center (click the Start button, click Help and Support, click User and system guides, click Device guides, and then click the guide for your graphics card).

Setting Up a Home and Office Network

Connecting to a Network Adapter

1Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back of your computer. Insert the cable until it clicks into place, and then gently pull it to ensure that it is secure.

2Connect the other end of the network cable to a network device.
