    Some tvs have a s-video in. There are s-video to RCA adapter cables. RCA is that yellow plug almost all tvs have.

    You dont need anything special. The s-video works the same way as the VGA output. You need to switch it on with fn + one of the F buttons.

    Just noticed the SZ doesn't have an S-video output. Funny all the things you don't notice until you get home. Is there any other quality way to connect the SZ to a TV or an adapter I can buy?
