> Connecting to an External Display

> The TV Out function outputs the device’s screen contents and audio to an external display with an RCA cable socket such as a television.

> Notes |

> | • | You need an HTC TV Out cable to be able to connect your device to an external display. The HTC TV Out cable is sold separately.

> | • | When you plug in the HTC TV Out cable to your device, you will not be able to play music files from the TouchFLO 3D Sprint Music tab.

> | • | It is recommended that you use an audio accessory (not the HTC TV Out cable) such as the wired headset when you want to listen to music on your device.

> To connect the device to an external display:

> 1. | Turn off the external display.

> 2. | Connect the ends (red, white, and yellow RCA plugs) of the HTC TV Out cable to the external display’s RCA sockets.

> 3. | Connect the mini-USB end of the HTC TV Out cable to the sync connector at the bottom of the device. The TV Out screen opens.

> Note | The display automatically changes to landscape mode after connecting the HTC TV Out cable.

> 4. | Choose the video format to use when outputting the video and then tap Done. For example, if your video is in the NTSC format and you select PAL-M, TV Out will automatically convert your video to PAL-M before it outputs to the external display.

> Note | If you need to change the video format option in the future, tap Start > Settings > System tab > TV Out.

> 5. | Tap the type of media you want to output.

> 6. | Turn on the external display and then switch it to the input signal that you connected the HTC TV Out cable to (for example, Video 1).
