ThinkPad T20 help

I've just received my Lenovo ThinkPad T20 from ebay (a kinda early christmas present for myself) & I've got it up * running fine with all the important stuff (typing on it now).

The only thing that I can't work is the s-video output. What I want is to be able to play DVDs through a TV using the s-video. I can get an image displayed on the LCD & the TV, however the TV only comes out in monochrome, & instead of displaying the full image, it goes off the edges of the screen & you have to use the mouse to 'scroll' the screen around. I know from past experience that the TV has no problem displaying a signal of 1024*768.

I've looked on the web (mainly the lenovo site) & can't actually find a pdf of the manual (the laptop didn't ship with the original manual unfortunately).

Anybody help with the video, or even just to locate a manual?

Im a right in thinking there are diffrent video stadards PAL/NTSL/SECAM
- Thats prolly the problem, should be able to set the output of the Laptop, and/or the input of the TV. Eatherway, they have to match.

The TV can display both PAL & NTSC. Though that would explain the lack of colour. However I've tried both PAL & NTSC, & tried dropping the colour down to the lowest possible (16 bit) to no avail.
