Using a television as a monitor

You can connect a television to the computer and display the computer’s images and sounds on the television. This capability is especially useful if you’re using your Macintosh to give a presentation and you have access to a large-screen television.

The television must have either an S-video or composite video input port, and Audio In ports.

To connect a television, turn off your computer and connect the television according to the instructions in the previous section, “Connecting Video Equipment for Output From the Computer.” Depending on the type of connectors your equipment has (S-video or composite video), your connection should look similar to one of the following:
