To connect a Nintendo Switch to a TV:
- Open the back cover of the Nintendo Switch dock.
- Connect the USB plug from the Nintendo Switch AC adapter to the top terminal of the dock labeled "AC ADAPTER," then plug the other end into a power outlet.
- Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the bottom terminal of the dock labeled "HDMI OUT," then connect the other end to an HDMI port on the TV.
- Close the back cover of the dock.
- Remove the left and right Joy-Con controllers from the console (if necessary).
- Position the Nintendo Switch console so its screen faces the front panel of the dock, then insert the console into the dock.
- The console screen will turn off while docked.
- Turn the TV on and select the correct HDMI input to see the Nintendo Switch display on the TV.
Note: The Nintendo Switch Lite does not support TV mode and cannot be connected to a TV this way.
