Depends on model also.. those which have TV output can play videos on the TV screen but if there is no TV output you got to get another external coverter to convert the VGA port to the RCA/S-video port.

To play DivX files on home DVD Player you'll need a DivX compatible player or convert the files into DVD/VCD format and burn them into DVD-Video disc or VCD. |

your graphic card driver SHOULD have the option to toggle the S-Video output.
make sure you have S-video cable to connect to TV as well. |

I have the port but I don't know how to use it.... Lappie mostly got FN+F? shortcut keys to toggle between LCD display mode and S-Video out mode. Some got 3 modes. 3rd mode is on both screen output. It's all in your lappie manual.This post has been edited by seeseng: Apr 3 2006, 11:48 PM |
