Image Output on a TV
When receiving a TV station or viewing a DVD movie you do not need to use your
computer screen. Your computer also features a TV Out port for connecting a con-
ventional television set or video projector. This allows you to enjoy your home
theater on a large-size 16:9 TV or projector.
Most TV sets and projectors use conventional video cables (yellow Euro-Cinch) or
S-Video connectors. You can use any of these cables as you can use an adapter to
connect them to your graphics card. However, the display image quality will be
better when using an S-Video cable. You will notice the difference especially when
using high-end video sources like DVD movies.
TV output via S-Video port (right).
1. First connect the video cable to the TV Out port of your graphics adapter. Use
any of the mentioned cable types (Euro-Cinch or S-Video). The type of cable de-
pends on the signal input connectors of your TV set. Depending on the connection
type you're using, you may need the (optional) adapter to make it fit. Next, connect
the cable to the TV set or projector.
