Using the TV as a Monitor

If your Media Center PC has TV-out capability (select models only), you can connect it to a TV to view the PC image on a TV screen. With the TV-out feature, you can view the PC image, watch DVD movies, or play games on your TV. This is an optional feature.

Cables for connecting to a TV

To connect a TV to the PC, you will need a video cable and an audio cable. The type of video cable you need depends on your TV:

If your TV has an S-video input jack, you need an S-video cable.

If your TV has a composite video jack, you need a composite video cable, and depending on the jacks on the back of your PC, you may also need an S-video adapter cable.

There may be two S-video connectors on the back of the PC: S-video Out on the video card (select models only) and Video In on the TV tuner card.

Connecting to a TV

1 Turn off the PC.

2 Connect the TV cable using one of the following arrangements, depending on the connection jacks on your TV.

3 If your TV has an S-video jack, connect an S-video cable (A) (not provided) from the S-video In jack on the TV to the S-video Out jack (B) on the back of the PC (select models only).
