Getting Started Turning off the computer 81 Connecting to the Composite In port The Composite In port provides another way to connect a VCR/DVD player or game console to your computer. To do this: 1 Connect the external device's video cable to the Composite In port on the back of the computer. 2 Connect the device's power cable to a live electrical outlet. 3 Turn on your computer. 4 Turn on the external device. Turning off the computer It is a good idea to turn off your computer when you are not using it for a while. If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the computer plugged into a power source (even though the computer is off) to fully charge the main battery. With the computer off, it may take several hours to recharge the main battery. When you power down the computer, you have three options to choose from: Turn Off, Hibernate, and Standby. Each option has its advantages. ❖ Use the Turn Off command if you are using the Windows® XP Media Center Edition operating system. ❖ If you have work in progress and are not connected to a network, use the Windows Standby or Hibernate commands to save your system settings to memory so that, when you turn on the computer again, you will automatically return to where you left off.
