COMMENTS:
The Fn-F5 hot key does not support re-directing video output to a TV.Steps 1-8 will need to be performed each time that you want to display output to the TV.
Steps 15-18 are only required if you want the internal display to fill the entire screen while simultaneously displaying video output to the TV.
The S-Video cable does not carry sound. If you want to listen to the sound through your TV, it will have to be connected separately.
