Specifications

Your computer has an S-video TV-out connector that, together with the TV/digital audio adapter cable (available from Dell), enables you to connect the
computer to a TV and/or stereo audio device. The TV/digital audio adapter cable provides connectors for an S-video cable, a composite video cable, and an
S/PDIF digital audio cable.
Your TV has either an S-video input connector or a composite video-input connector. Depending on what type of connector is available on your TV, you can use
a commercially available S-video cable or composite video cable to connect your computer to your TV. For audio devices without support for S/PDIF digital
audio, you can use the audio connector on the side of the computer to connect the computer to your audio device.
It is recommended that you connect video and audio cables to your computer in one of the following combinations.
l S-video and standard audio
l S-video and S/PDIF digital audio
l Composite video and standard audio
l Composite video and S/PDIF digital audio
When you finish connecting the video and audio cables between your computer and your TV, you must enable your computer to work with the TV. See
"Enabling the Display Settings for a TV in Microsoft® Windows® XP" to ensure that the computer recognizes and works properly with the TV. Additionally, if
you are using S/PDIF digital audio, see "Enabling S/PDIF Digital Audio."
