Using the video features
The computer includes the following video features:
●External monitor port that connects a television, monitor, or projector
●S-Video-out jack that connects a range of advanced video components
Using the external monitor port
The external monitor port connects an external display device, such as an external monitor or projector, to the computer.
To connect a display device, connect the device cable to the external monitor port.
NOTE If a properly connected external display device does not display an image, press fn+f4 to transfer the image to the device.
Using the S-Video-out jack
The 7-pin S-Video-out jack connects the computer to an optional S-Video device such as a television, VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video capture card.
The computer can support one S-Video device connected to the S-Video-out jack, while simultaneously supporting an image on the computer display or any other supported external display.
NOTE To transmit video signals through the S-Video-out jack, you need an S-Video cable (purchased separately). If you are playing a DVD movie on the computer and displaying it on your television (combining audio and video functions), you also need a standard audio cable (purchased separately) to connect the headphone jack. Both of these cables are available from most electronics retailers.
