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.
