Connecting the Computer to a Television

Your PC has TV-out capability, which means you can connect it to a

television to view the computer image on a TV. With the TV-out feature, you

can view the computer image, watch DVD movies (if you have a DVD drive),

or play games on your TV.

Cables you may need

To connect a TV to the computer, you may need a video cable and an

audio cable. The type of video cable 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 computer, an S-Video adapter cable.

TV and not from your computer, plug an audio cable

into the Audio input jack (Line In) on the TV and then

plug the other end into the Line Out jack (lime green

connector) on the back of the computer.

image on your monitor and your TV simultaneously.

the TV. Under nView Modes select Standard

[nView disabled], click the Device Settings

button, choose Select Output Device, and then

select the TV option.
