    What function do the extra 3-pins of S-video connector serve?

    I have this snapshot of dv6000 series service manual, and it shows different values for all the pins of S-video. All I know is that a 4-pin plug fits in my 7-pin outlet and works fine, so I was curious about the other three pins and added function they serve??? Can we squeeze some extra functioanlity from the other 3 pins?

    Here is the pinout from the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the dv6700 series (see attachment), my notebook type. Somewhat different than the snapshot in your post.

    Here is a read from the HP Business Forums "S-Video connector - what are the 3 additional Pins for?"
