30 Using Your ALL-IN-WONDER 128 or ALL-IN-WONDER 128
Connecting your PC to a television or a VCR
To connect your computer to a television or a VCR, attach a
connector cable from the television (or VCR) to your card.
Most televisions and VCRs have a Composite video input, also
referred to as a phono jack or RCA input. A growing number of
televisions and VCRs have another type of video input called
S-Video or S-VHS. An S-Video connection produces a higher
quality display than Composite video.
If your television has cable input only, which is the case on
older units, you can connect your graphics card to your
television using your VCR or an RF modulator (available in
most electronics stores).
