OK lets assume that this is "I have a DVD player in my PowerBook and
I want to play them through to my external screen device (TV all in
one entertainment system etc etc)"
Sout = S out = S-Video out = this is a video out output that uses
"S-Video (mini DIN) plug"
Video: S-out you use the supplied (or if lost purchased from dick
smith tandy) Svideo to RCA video adaptor
Audio: stereo minipin audio jack to RCA (stereo if external supports
it mono otherwise)
plug'em in, turn on TV or external device, turn on computer. by
default S-vido out mirrors the main screen but you can arrange it
just like a standard monitor (from recollection)...
Note that you can't run it through a VCR recorder first - IT must go
directly to the TV/ display device (else you get the Macrovision
Protection effect - this may be the squigly lines your talking
about). - If you have an all in one TV/VCR you'll probably find your
stuck unless you rip the DVD to hard disk with a program that removes
the Macrovision protection and then play the ripped files through the
unit - still don't expect anything special quality wise.
I am trying to get my DVD/stereo player to play DVDs through my G3 Lomabard
Powerbook. I have the adapter chord hooked up from the Video out to the
"Sout" (is that what its called??). I have searched through the sparce apple
help and havent found anything in the Monitors control panel to get a
picture. It seems to be connected properly, since when booting up (when the
DVD/stereo player is turned on) the screen goes all wierd with wavey colour
bands wobbling around as it boots...
OS 9.2.2, Lombard G3, RAM 320, and also OS X(Jaguar)
Please help!!
