S-Video is usually associated with TV screens and HD Monitors (Tho most use DVI).
If your trying to use the S-Video for a TV then you need to open the catalyst control panel and scroll/search for TV setup or something along the lines. You then need to scan for the TV, sometime the system cannont find the TV there should be a force option. That will make the S-Video link active even if the system thinks there is no TV
