External Video Support (VGA and S-Video) Your computer has a monitor port that allows you to directly connect a monitor with a VGAstyle adapter or other external video device such as a video projector. The TV out port (also known as an S-video out port) on your computer lets you connect to a television, videocassette recorder ( VCR), or video projection system using either an S-video or composite video cable (available at your local electronics store). You can use TV out to display images on a television, record computer images on a VCR, or play DVD-Video discs on your television (see page 54). Note: If the device you want to connect does not have S-Video, you can use the Compositeto-S-video adapter that came with your PowerBook.

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. 48 Chapter 3
