13.8  Connecting to an External Display

Your device has a TV output which can be connected to an external display, such as a TV monitor, that has an RCA cable socket. This allows you to output the device screen and audio to a big-screen display.

Note You need an HTC TV Out cable to be able to connect your device to an external display. The HTC TV Out cable is sold separately.

To connect the device to an external display

1.Turn off the external display.

2. Connect the ends (red, white, and yellow RCA plugs) of the HTC TV Out cable to the external display’s RCA sockets.

3. Connect the mini-USB end of the HTC TV Out cable to the sync connector at the bottom of the device. The TV Out screen opens.

4.Choose the video standard to use when outputting the video and then tap Done.

For example, if your video is in the NTSC standard and you select PAL-M, TV Out will automatically convert your video to PAL-M before it outputs to the external display.

Note If you need to change the video standard option in the future, tap Start > Settings > All Settings > System tab > TV Out.

5.Tap the type of media you want to output.

6.Turn on the external display and then switch it to the input signal that you connected the HTC TV Out cable to (for example, Video 1).

The screen orientation is always in landscape mode while your device is connected to the external display.
