Make sure you connect the internal modem to an analog phone line-the kind typically used in homes. Warning: Do not connect a digital phone line to the modem as it could damage the modem. Contact your telephone service provider if you are unsure whether you have a digital phone line. For information about how to establish an Internet connection, see Appendix C, "Connecting to the Internet," on page 79. More information about the internal modem is also available in Mac Help. Using External Video Support (DVI, VGA, and S-Video) Your computer has an external monitor (DVI) port that allows you to directly connect a display or projector with a DVI port. Use the included DVI-to-VGA adapter to connect your PowerBook to monitors and projectors that have VGA connectors. 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 an S-video cable. You can use TV out to display images on a television, record computer images on a VCR, or play DVD-Video discs on your TV. 44 Chapter 3 Using Your PowerBook
