fattwam Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 If you have an S-video jack then you will need an S-video cable which you can get at your local electronics store. You will also need a cable for audio. This cable will connect from the headphone jack in your laptop to the 2 RCA stereo jacks (red and white) on your TV or stereo system If you only have a VGA connector and don't have an HDTV then your best choice is to buy a newer video card with an S-Video connector. There are other third party solutions out there but the quality is very poor and we do not recommend it. The VGA port is the connector that's connected to your PC monitor (the TV like device that came with your computer). This connector is usually only usable for VGA Monitors or HDTV setups. If you have an HDTV this will give you the best image possible. If you have an RCA Composite connector on the back of your computer, then you can use that. You may also need to power down your computer and reboot to be able to get the signal. You need an RCA Composite cable that will be long enough to reach from your computer to your PC. Connect the cable to the back of the computer to the back of your TV SET. S-Video is superior to that of RCA Composite and will give you a clearer picture. If you have a fairly new TV you should have this connector in the back. You will need to buy an S-VIDEO cable, which you can buy just about anywhere you buy home video products. Connect the cable to your S-Video on the back of your computer and then connect it on the back of your TV Now use the key sequence to get picture on TVAcer: Fn + F3Dell: Fn + F8Fujitsu: Fn + F5Gateway: Fn + F3HP: Fn + F5IBM: Fn + F7, Fn + F8, Fn + F1, Fn + F3NEC: Fn + F3Panasonic: Fn + F2Samsung: Fn + F4, Fn + F5 or Fn + F6Sharp: Fn + F5Sony: Fn + F7Toshiba: Fn + F5 or Fn + F7
