To Connect a TV to Your Notebook

You can use a TV as an external monitor for your notebook. To connect a TV to your notebook:

1.Plug a standard 4-pin S-Video cable to the S-Video out jack on your notebook (yellow connector on the back panel). Plug the other end of the cable to the S-Video in jack on your television. Restart your notebook.

NOTE: Although your notebook has a 7-pin S-Video out jack, the notebook accepts either a 7-pin or 4-pin cable connection.

2.Select Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Display. Then, select Settings tab > Advanced button > Display tab.

3.To enable the TV, select the red button next to TV.

NOTE: If the S-Video cable is not plugged into your notebook and TV, the red button will not be displayed.

4.Select Apply to accept the changes.

5.If you are prompted to restart Windows, select Yes.

To Connect an Infrared Device (Select Models Only)

NOTE: Select models include an infrared port. By default, the infrared port is not enabled, so you must first enable it before you can use it.

If your model has an infrared port (a small, rectangular lens located on the front of the notebook), then your notebook can communicate wirelessly with other infrared devices, such as printers or other notebooks, using this port.
