To set up TV connections The best method of connecting your computer system, TV monitor or display, and cable service access, is determined by the type of cable connection or service available in your home. Your VAIO® computer is supplied with certain cables. Your in-home cable access may require extra cables, adapters or connection equipment not supplied with your computer. Page 67
