    You have to enable it through your display properties, under settings and then the advanced button. It should be in one of the menus that pop up.

    ThatÂ’s how mine work but I have installed different drivers than the one that came from Averatec so the option might be located somewhere else in your case.

    But i think for the most part the setting will be found in the display properties somewhere.

    hi,
    this is how you enable the s-video option of your 6130hs:
    1. right click on a empty spot on the desktop, select properties
    2. select the settings menu
    3. you'll see two screens, one will say 1 and the other will say 2
    4. select the number 2 screen
    5. check that second box at the bottom say extend my windows desktop on to this monitor.
    6. it'll ask you apply the settings without restarting or restart the computer. click on apply the settings without restarting. click ok and the s-video is set up.
    If your dvd player/tv is hooked up the vcr set the vcr on channel l1 or l2.
