Using video equipment with your monitor

The instructions that follow are for connecting a stereo VCR to a Mac OS–based
computer with an S-video port or a composite video port, but you can use
them as a model for connecting your computer to any video equipment.

Before you start:

m Make sure that the VCR has a cable with an S-video connector or a

composite (RCA plug) connector. If the VCR has an RCA plug, make sure
you have an adapter if your computer does not have a composite
video port.

m Place the VCR near your computer system.
m Shut down the computer and turn off the VCR.
Note: If your computer has a sound input port and a sound output port in
addition to the S-video or composite video ports, you can connect all cables
to the back of your computer. See the next section for information.
