Video Features (Select Models Only)

The notebook features a 7-pin S-Video-out jack that connects the

notebook to an optional S-Video device such as a television,

VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video capture card.

The notebook can support one S-Video device connected to the

S-Video-out jack while simultaneously supporting an image on

the notebook display and on any other supported external display.

The S-Video connection usually provides a higher quality image

than a composite-video connection.

To transmit video signals through the S-Video-out jack, you need

an S-Video cable, available from most electronics retailers. If you

are combining audio and video functions, such as playing a movie

from a DVD in an optional MultiBay drive to a television, you

also need a standard audio cable, available from most electronics

retailers.

on the notebook.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the video device, as

instructed in the documentation included with the device.

✎If the S-Video-out jack on the notebook is not accessible

because the notebook is docked into an optional docking

device, you can connect the device to the S-Video-out jack on

the docking device.
