Apple PowerBook G4 (12-inch, 1.5 GHz) - Manual (Page 44)

44 Chapter 3 Using Your Computer
If you want sound to come from the external display, such as a projector or TV, you
need to connect an audio cable from the computer’s headphone (audio line out) port
to that device.
Note: Because of the display limitations of most televisions, images displayed on the
television screen will be of lower quality than those on the built-in display or an
external monitor.
Connecting an External Display or Projector
To connect an external display or projector with a DVI connector to
your computer:
1 Turn on the external display or projector.
2 Connect the DVI display cable to your Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter, and then connect the
adapter to your PowerBook. Your PowerBook automatically detects the external display.
3 Adjust the resolution on the external display by using the Displays pane of System
Preferences or by using the Displays icon in the menu bar.
You can connect your PowerBook to an Apple flat-panel display. Depending on the
display used, the connection may require a DVI-to-ADC adapter, available from your
Apple Authorized Reseller, an Apple retail store, or the Apple Store at www.apple.com/
store.
To connect an external display or projector with a VGA connector to your
computer:
1 Turn on the external display or projector.
2 Connect the VGA display cable to the Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter, and then connect the
adapter to your PowerBook. Your PowerBook automatically detects the external display.
Important: To ensure that your PowerBook automatically detects the external display
or projector, be sure the Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter is plugged into the external display
or projector first.
3 Adjust the resolution on the external display by using the Displays pane of System
Preferences or by using the Displays icon in the menu bar.
Using Your PowerBook With the Display Closed
You can use your PowerBook with the display closed if the computer is connected to
an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and the power adapter is plugged into the
PowerBook and an outlet.
Important: To use your PowerBook with the display closed, the power adapter must be
plugged into the PowerBook and an outlet.
