Connecting a Television, VCR, or Other Video Device

To connect a TV, VCR, or other video device to the eMac:

1Connect the single-plug end of the Apple Video Adapter to the video out port on your eMac.

2Connect the other end of the adapter to the composite video port or the S-video port on the TV or VCR using a composite or S-video cable.

3Turn on the external device.

4To adjust how the images are displayed on the device, use the Displays pane of System Preferences.

The image appears on both the eMac and the TV, except for DVD playback, which appears only on the TV.

For More Information on Using an External Display or TV

Additional information on using and configuring an external monitor is available in Mac OS Help. Choose Help > Mac Help and search for “display.”

Using Your Optical Drive

You can install or use software from CDs using your optical drive. You can play multimedia content (such as QuickTime movies) from CD discs and music from audio CDs.

If your eMac has a DVD/CD-RW Combo drive or a SuperDrive, you can burn music CDs, and save documents and other digital files on CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can also play DVD movies and use most DVD discs.

If your eMac has a SuperDrive, you can also use your home movies to make video DVDs that can by played in most home DVD players, or save documents to blank DVD-R (recordable DVD) discs.

Note: If you have older software that comes on floppy disks, contact the software manufacturer to see if the software is available on a CD or for download from the web, or purchase an external USB floppy disk drive for your eMac from your Apple dealer or the Apple Store (www.apple.com/store).
