Connecting your PC to a television or a VCR

thetelevision (or VCR) to your card. Most televisions and VCRs have a
Compositevideo input, also referred to as a phono jack or RCA input. A growing
numberof televisions and VCRs have another type of video input called S-Video
orS-VHS. An S-Video connection produces a higher quality display than
Composite video. If your televisionhas cable input only, which is the case on
olderunits, you can connect your graphicscard to your televisionusing your
VCRor an RF modulator (availablein most electronics stores).
