    Can I watch my television on my e1505 through the S-video cable? Or do I need to purchase a TV Tuner?

    What do you mean by output only? What can my S-video cable be used for?

    To display your notebooks screen on a TV, or watch DVDs on a TV screen instead of your notebook screen.

    It outputs a video signal from your notebook to your TV screen.
