Dell Inspiron 3700 - Manual (Page 54)

You can connect a television with an S-Video connector to your computer. Figure 2 shows the location of the S-Video connector.
To connect the cables, follow these guidelines:
l
If your television uses an S-Video cable for video input, connect one end of that cable directly to your computer's S-Video TV-out connector
and the other end into your television's S-Video connector. Connecting the S-Video cable that came with your television to the television's S-
Video connector and to the S-Video TV-out connector on your computer allows your computer to output video information to your television.
l If your television uses a composite video cable for video input, you need both the Composite TV-Out Adapter cable that came with your
computer and the composite video cable that came with your television. Connecting these cables together, then connecting them to your
television composite video-in connector and your computer's S-Video TV-out connector, allows your computer to output video information to
your television.
To connect a television which has a composite video-in connector to your computer's S-Video TV-out connector, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the Composite TV-Out Adapter cable that came with your computer to your computer's S-Video TV-out connector.
2. Connect the other end of the Composite TV-Out Adapter cable to your television's composite video cable.
3. Connect the composite video cable to your television's composite video connector.

Figure 3. Attaching an External Keyboard
You can use the computer's keyboard and an external keyboard at the same time. When you attach a keyboard to the computer, the embedded
numeric keypad is automatically disabled.
On an external keyboard, the <Scroll Lock> key acts the same way as the <Fn> key on the computer’s keyboard (if the External Hot Key option is
enabled in the System Setup program).
You can also connect an external keyboard to the Inspiron 3700 Advanced Port Replicator (APR).
Keypad
You can attach a PS/2-compatible external numeric keypad to the computer's mini-DIN keypad connector.
When you attach a numeric keypad to the computer, the embedded numeric keypad is automatically disabled. The indicators on the integrated
keyboard track the operation of an external numeric keypad.
You can also connect an external keypad to the Inspiron 3700 APR.
Mouse
You can attach a PS/2-compatible mouse to the computer's mini-DIN mouse connector, as shown in Figure 4 .
