Setting Up Your TV-Out Connection
Your Mobile Internet PC comes with a composite TV-Out connector on the back
panel. An S-Video connector can be found on your optional port replicator.
With a TV-Out connection, you can do the following:
•
Play games on a bigger screen, such as your television.
•
Watch DVD movies on TV rather than a computer monitor.
•
Play a video clip for recording on a VCR.
Connecting and Enabling TV-Out
To connect your computer and your television, you will need a composite video
cable (RCA cable) to plug into your TV, VCR, or other device. These cables can
be purchased in a retail TV store or a computer store.
To connect and enable TV-Out, complete the following steps:
1. Before connecting your computer to your television, turn on your computer.
2. When you reach the Windows desktop, connect your computer and your
television with a composite video cable.
3. Right-click the Windows desktop.
4. Click Properties.
5. Click the Settings tab, then click the Advanced button.
6. Click the Displays tab.
7. Click the green corner of the TV field box to enable TV-Out. TV-Out is
enabled if the button next to Primary is blue.
8. Click the OK button to exit the Advanced menu and the Display Properties
menu.
