the TV screen.
❖
Use the TV remote control to launch, operate and close
applications on your computer.
❖
Turn on the TV when the HDMI output is selected using the
Fn+F5
key.
❖
Switch the video output (HDMI or LCD) when executing
certain desktop icons.
❖

Connecting the sound to a TV or stereo system
At times you may prefer to use external audio instead of the
computer’s built-in speakers. For example, when you use a TV or
other external display device you can use that device’s speakers, or
when you use the computer’s built-in display you can connect to
external speakers or a stereo sound system for higher quality sound.
You can connect the sound to external audio devices in two ways:
❖
Using the headphone jack on the side of the computer—This
lets you connect directly to headphones, powered speakers, or a
stereo system that supports input from a headphone output.
You need a cable (not included with your computer) with a 1/8"
(3.5mm) stereo plug on one end and a plug compatible with
your sound system on the other end (typically an RCA type
connector).
