Connecting a Television
To connect a television to the notebook—or to set up most other
configurations that combine audio and visual functions—you
need an audio cable and an S-Video cable. The cables can be
purchased from most computer or electronics retailers.
Connecting the Audio
To connect the audio, you need an audio cable that connects
the audio-out (headphone) jack on the notebook to the audio-in
connection on the television.
The notebook audio-out jack requires a 3.5 mm plug. If the
television requires an RCA connection, you need to use a
conversion cable; for example, a 3.5mm stereo to (2) RCA cable.
To connect the cable:
1. Plug the 3.5 mm plug end of the audio cable into the
audio-out jack on the notebook.
2. Plug the RCA connectors on the other end of the cable into
the audio-in connectors on the television.
For more information about the notebook audio-out jack,
including an illustration of this connection, refer to “Using the
Audio-Out (Headphone) Jack,” earlier in this chapter.
Connecting the Video
To connect the video, you need a standard S-Video cable:
1. Plug either end of the S-Video cable into the notebook
S-Video-out jack.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the S-Video-in jack (not
the S-Video-out jack) on the external device.
For more information about the notebook S-Video-out jack,
including an illustration of this connection, refer to “Using the
S-Video-Jack,” earlier in this chapter.
