Quick Steps to TV Connection Bliss
First things first, grab your Nintendo Switch dock. This little station is your golden ticket to TV land. Make sure your TV is off to start.
Next, open the back cover of the dock. You’ll see a few ports here. Plug the USB plug from the Switch’s AC adapter into the top terminal (marked “AC ADAPTER”), then connect the other end to a power outlet. Now, take that HDMI cable and plug one end into the bottom terminal (marked “HDMI OUT”), with the other end going into an HDMI port on your TV.
Alright, you’re almost there! Close that dock’s back cover. Slide your Nintendo Switch console down into the dock until you hear a click – that’s how you know it’s snug and ready. Turn on your TV and switch to the HDMI input that matches the port you used. Voilà! Your Switch should now be gracing your TV screen with its presence.
