Apple 8100 Series manual Using a television as a monitor

Using a television as a monitor

There are two ways to use a television as a monitor:

mAs described in the previous section, you can connect a VCR to the computer’s S-video output port, and connect a television to the VCR’s Video Out port. Then you can record a presentation on videotape as it is displayed on the television.

mYou can connect a television directly to the computer’s S-video output port and display the computer’s images on it. This capability is especially useful if you’re using your Macintosh to give a presentation and you have access to a large-screen television. If your television does not support S-video,

attach the adapter for composite video as described earlier in this chapter. (Be sure to use the adapter marked with the Æ icon.)

For further instructions on using a television as a monitor, see the “Video” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
