The game console ports are located on the top-left side of the computer. The game box connects to the game console ports. Connect cables to the HDMI port (B) or to the composite audio/video ports (C), and then use the A/V source button (A) to enable an onscreen display where you toggle (by pressing multiple times) to HDMI or composite mode, or to PC mode. When connected to the game console ports, your system is display mode; there is no recording capability. .

It is recommended you save and close all files before connecting to the game console ports.
