Using external display devices

Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also connect an external display device to an available video port, as follows:

❖An external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor) port❖A TV, VCR, or DVD recorder via the S-video (TV-out) port*❖An HDMI-compatible television or VCR/DVD player via the HDMI Out port**(Available on certain models)

Before connecting an external monitor or video projector, configure your computer for the type of device you are connecting. To do this, refer to the documentation for your operating system and devices.

You cannot connect both the S-video Out port and the HDMI Out port to the same device at the same time.

1Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port on the side of the computer.

2Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
