Use the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to connect the MacBook Air Mini DisplayPort port to an external display's
VGA port.
Video connections
If your external display is an older television or projector (or even a VCR), it likely has either a Composite (yel-
low RCA) connector or an S-Video connector; both are shown in Figure 1.9. To connect MacBook Air to an ex-
ternal display that only offers either Composite or S-Video connectors, use the Mini DisplayPort to VGA ad-
apter, and then get a second adapter to convert the VGA signal to the output you require (VGA-to-video ad-
apters are offered by many third-party manufacturers).
