Knowing use S-Video can make your Internet and television viewing easier. If you have a theater system, you want the S-Video cable to plug into the TV from the base system so you get the quality visuals of the movie you are watching. If you have a computer, you can plug the S-Video into the laptop and into the TV so the TV acts as a monitor for quality visuals. The S-Video works for camcorders and video games.
Instructions
1. Hook up the theater system base receiver to the TV with an S-Video cable. The TV must have the S-Video input. Simply run the S-Video plug from the back of the receiver (in the S-Video output) to the TV's S-Video input.
2. Use the S-Video to hook up your X-box to the TV. This will enhance the picture quality when you are playing any game. Run the cable from the S-Video output to the TV input S-Video.
3. Use the S-Video to hook up the camcorder to the TV for viewing. The cable is plugged into the S-Video output on the camcorder and plugged in on the back of the TV's S-Video input.
4. Connect your computer to your TV with the S-Video cable. You will find the S-Video output on your computer (usually on the bottom back section of the computer) and run the other end of the cable to the TV S-Video input. Check your computer manual to see if you need to make any adjustments on the computer to use the S-Video. All computers are different and some require no additional adjustments.
5. Use the "Input" button on your TV or remote to find the proper input to view the S-Video after you have it hooked up. This could be Video 1, Video 2, Aux or L1. It all depends on your TV and how the input is set up.
