Sony VAIO Notebook K13, K14 series Audio / Video 4 pin

Sony VAIO PCG-K13/K14 series 4-pin A/V OUT jack carrying composite video and stereo audio for TV connection via a proprietary AV cable.

Sony VAIO Notebook K13, K14 series Audio / Video 4 pin – 4-pin connector 4 pin 3.5mm (2.5mm) plug connector at the computer´s cable.

The Sony VAIO PCG-K13 and PCG-K14 notebook computers feature a proprietary A/V OUT jack that combines composite video and stereo audio in a single 4-pin miniature connector. The output is driven by the ATI RADEON GPU (RADEON 9200 64 MB or RADEON IGP 345M) via a dedicated TV signal path shown in the service manual block diagram. Connection to a television requires the optional audio-video AV cable sold separately; the Fn+F7 key combination switches display output between the internal LCD and the TV.

Notes

  • The VAIO will NOT output video until it sees a 75 Ohm load; without the load, no signal is output at all.
  • The connector does not disable the VAIO’s built-in speakers.

Signals

  • Left Line Audio output — stereo audio left channel output at line level; 10 KOhm impedance.
  • Right Line Audio output — stereo audio right channel output at line level; 10 KOhm impedance.
  • TV OUT (composite Video) — composite video signal for television display; 75 Ohm impedance; driven by ATI RADEON GPU TV output.
  • Ground — common ground return for audio and video signals.
