Note: To control the volume of your external speakers, use the Video &Sound control panel to control volume and to set other options for playing sound through the external speakers. If you are playing an audio CD, you may also need to adjust the volume control in the program you’re using to play CDs.

Connecting video equipment

You can connect video equipment to your Power Macintosh so that you can work with video images on the computer. With your Power Macintosh, you can view video on your monitor, capture single video images, and save digitized video in files.

Your Power Macintosh can display and use video images from a variety of sources. To view video on your monitor, you connect video equipment to the video input port on the computer.

Your Macintosh can work with two video formats:

mS-video

mcomposite video

S-video is a high-quality video format used by many video cameras and VCRs. Most televisions, most VCRs, and laserdisc players use the composite format. To find out which format your equipment uses, check the manual that came with your equipment.
