Q: How do I view the notebook display on a television in Windows Vista?

A: The S-Video out jack on your notebook lets you view your notebook display on a television screen using a standard S-Video cable.

Audio is not transmitted through the TV out jack. Use the built-in speakers, a set of headphones or external powered speakers, or connect the computer to a stereo system to hear sound while playing a DVD. DVD playback to a VCR is scrambled by copyright protection technology.

Follow these steps to view the display on a television.

1. With your notebook off, connect one end of a standard S-Video cable to the S-Video out jack on your notebook or optional port replicator.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Video in jack on the television or VCR.

3. Turn on the television or VCR.

4. Start the notebook.

Note: To turn on external video by default, connect the television, or other external video device, before starting the computer.
