Using a television as a monitor
There are two ways to use a television as a monitor:
m As just described in the previous section, you can connect a VCR to the
computer’s S-video output port, and connect a television to the VCR’s video
output port. Then you can record a presentation on videotape as it is
displayed on the television.
m You can connect a television directly to the computer’s S-video output port
and display the computer’s images on it. This capability is especially useful
if you’re using your Macintosh to give a presentation and you have access
to a large-screen television. If your television does not support S-video,
attach the adapter for composite video as described earlier in this chapter.
(Be sure to use the adapter marked with the  icon.)
Follow these steps to display the computer’s images on a television.
1Make sure that the television is connected and turned on.
If you are recording a presentation, the television should be connected to the
VCR’s video output port.
If you are displaying the computer’s images without recording, the television
should be connected to the computer’s S-video output port.
2 Open the Monitors control panel and click the Options button.
The Monitors control panel is located in the Control Panels folder in the
Apple (K) menu.
