what is the 7-pin svideo connector for on Inspiron 9400?
Hi,
It seems like many of the inspirons, including the 9400 get shipped with 7 pin DIN Svideo connector.
Well,Svideo/composite video doesn't really need all of these pins, so what is the rest for?
Maybe for digital audio out? component video out?
Any comments?
thanks

s-video is only 4 pins, to do color. Audio is seperate. To get S-video out of the computer you need the s-video adapter or is you want you could custom make a cable to go from the computer to S-video pin out but cheaper to just buy the adapter and then you gain the digital audio output at the same time.
Watch out, the Dell dongle is not always compatible between different models. Get the one intended for your machine.
