Using a TV as a Monitor 33
Using a TV as a Monitor
Your PC may have TV-out (select models only) capability, which means you can
connect it to a television to view the computer image on a TV screen. With the
TV-out feature, you can view the computer image, watch DVD movies (if you have
a DVD player), or play games on your TV.
Identifying Cables You May Need
To connect a TV to the PC, you may need a video cable and an audio cable (not
provided; purchase separately). The type of video cable you need depends on
your TV:
• If your TV has an S-video jack, you need an S-video cable.
• If your TV has a composite video jack, you need a composite video cable and,
depending on the jacks on the back of your PC, you may also need an S-video
adapter cable.
Connecting to a TV Set
To use your TV as a PC screen:
1 Turn off the PC.
2 Connect the TV cable using one of the following arrangements, depending on
the connection jacks on your TV:
• If your TV has an S-video jack, connect an S-video cable from the S-video In
jack on the TV to the S-video jack on the back of the PC.
