composite cables or S-Video cables.
• Audio devices can be connected via the video audio input jack on the notebook.
Connecting an Antenna
In order to receive television signals, you must first hook up an antenna to your notebook. An
RF antenna adapter was included with the notebook for hooking up the antenna. Note that this
requires an antenna (either cable or standalone) with a coaxial connection.
