!640x480 when the video output device is a television.

!800x600 or 1024x768 when the video output device is an LCD panel or an external monitor (CRT).

To change display settings, access Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display, and select the Settings tab.

Follow these steps to connect your television as an external display device.

1.Connect one end of the standard composite cable into the TV Out (RCA) yellow- colored port on your NEC Versa and the other end of the cable into the standard RCA jack on your television or VCR.

2.Go to Settings, Control Panel, Display Properties, Settings, and place a check in the TV box.
