Using a TV as a Monitor

(Select models only)

Your computer may have TV-out capability, that is, video output connectors, such as DVI-out, Component-out, and S-video-out connectors. If so, you can connect a TV to one of the output connector sets, and then view the computer desktop image, watch DVD movies, or play games on the TV screen. TV-out connectors are an optional feature.

Cables for connecting the computer to a TV

To connect the computer to a TV, you need a video cable and an audio cable. The type of video cable that you need depends on the connection jacks on the TV:

￿If the TV has an S-video input connector, you need an S-video cable.

￿If the TV has a composite video connector, you need a composite video cable. Depending on the jacks on the back of the computer, you may also need an S-video adapter cable.
