You will need to use an S-Video cable. S-Video is a form of enhanced video signal that can be exported from a computer's video card or DVD hardware into a television. For this to be a possibility, the computer and television must both possess an external S-Video jack that can be linked together.  The WinBook Z1 does have an S-Video jack on the back on the computer.

First you will need to connect the computer to the TV:

1. Turn off the television and make sure the computer is powered off.
2. Using a straight S-Video cable, without any other items connected to it, connect the S-Video cable to the external S-Video connector on the computer as well as to the S-Video connector to the TV.
   NOTE: Some televisions require that they be set to a special input mode to display a S-Video connection. Please consult the owner's manual of the TV for more information on this.
   
3. Power on both the television and the computer.
4. Video from the portable computer should now be visible on the television during the boot process.
   

NOTE: You must have DVD decoder software installed on your system, such as MGI Soft DVD Max, to have DVD playback ability.

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. The Control Panel will open. Double-click the Display icon.
3. Click the Settings tab at the top of the window.
4. Click the Advanced button.
5. Click the Displays tab at the top of the window.
6. Click the button on the TV listing that says Secondary to set the TV to Primary.
7. Click the Blue button in the upper left hand corner of the LCD section to disable the internal LCD.
8. Click Apply. Follow the on screen instructions to accept the changes.
9. Click OK.
10. Click OK in the Display properties window to get back to your desktop.

The DVD should now only display on your TV when you play it using your DVD software.

Note: You will have to remove this settings to return back to using you internal LCD only.
