CHAPTER 6: Connecting Devices www.gateway.com Viewing the display on a television Important The TV out feature is available only on select Gateway notebooks. Important The dialog boxes shown in this section are for demonstrative purposes only and may not represent the screens on your notebook. Important To turn on external video by default, connect the television (or other external video device) before starting your notebook. Important Audio is not transmitted through an RCA or S-Video out jack. Use the built-in speakers or a set of headphones or external powered speakers, or connect your notebook to a stereo system using the headphone jack to hear sound while playing a DVD.
