Connecting a Television

To connect a television to the notebook—or to set up most other configurations that combine audio and visual functions—you need an audio cable and an S-Video cable. The cables can be purchased from most computer or electronics retailers.

Connecting the Audio

To connect the audio, you need an audio cable that connects the audio-out (headphone) jack on the notebook to the audio-in connection on the television.

The notebook audio-out jack requires a 3.5 mm plug. If the television requires an RCA connection, you need to use a conversion cable; for example, a 3.5mm stereo to (2) RCA cable. To connect the cable:

1.Plug the 3.5 mm plug end of the audio cable into the audio-out jack on the notebook.

2.Plug the RCA connectors on the other end of the cable into the audio-in connectors on the television.

For more information about the notebook audio-out jack, including an illustration of this connection, refer to “Using the Audio-Out (Headphone) Jack,” earlier in this chapter.

Connecting the Video

To connect the video, you need a standard S-Video cable:

1.Plug either end of the S-Video cable into the notebook S-Video-out jack.

2.Plug the other end of the cable into the S-Video-in jack (not the S-Video-out jack) on the external device.

For more information about the notebook S-Video-out jack, including an illustration of this connection, refer to “Using the S-Video-Jack,”earlier in this chapter.
