Connecting the display device
If you are connecting a television or other video display
device to the computer’s S-video port, first refer to the next
two subsections.
If you are connecting an SVGA monitor, skip to “Connecting
an external monitor or projector” on page 63.
Selecting video cables
To connect a device to the S-video port, you must purchase an
S-video cable. For the best video quality, always use a
properly shielded cable.
HINT: Toshiba recommends using a cable no longer than
20 feet (approximately 6 meters).
Using a poor quality cable may result in a dull or fuzzy
picture, poor color, ghosting, video noise, or loss of video.
Connecting to the S-video port
Video cables are not included with your computer. To connect
a device to the S-video port, you must purchase an S-video

1 Connect one end of the S-video cable to the external video
device.
Refer to the documentation provided with the device for the
location of its S-video-in port.
2 Connect the other end of the S-video cable to the S-video
port on the back side of the computer.
