Dell 7500 Attaching the Composite TV-Out Adapter Cable, Using the Composite TV-Out Adapter Cable

Attaching the Composite TV-Out Adapter Cable

Your computer has a TV-out S-video connector for connecting a television to the computer. To connect a television, perform the following steps:

1.Save and close any open files, exit any open application programs, and shut down the computer.

2.If the television has an S-video cable, plug the cable directly into the computer at the TV-out S-video connector. If the television has only a composite cable connector, connect the composite TV-out adapter cable that came with your computer to the TV-out S-video connector on the computer (see Figure 2-5), and then connect the other end of the adapter cable to the television's composite cable.
