Viewing the display on a television

The TV out (NTSC/PAL Composite Video) jack on your notebook lets you view your notebook display on a television screen using a standard RCA video cable. The S-Video out jack on your port replicator lets you view your notebook display on a television screen using a standard S-Video cable.

To turn on external video by default, connect the television (or other external video device) before starting your notebook.

Audio is not transmitted through the TV out jack. Use the built-in speakers, a set of headphones or external powered speakers, or connect your notebook to a stereo system to hear sound while playing a DVD. DVD playback to a VCR will be scrambled by copyright protection technology.
