Since we have no idea what cords you have, we can't say. You can use a cable that matches the port on the computer with the one on the tv. Svideo to Svideo(?) and add an audio cord for sound. Then you have to set up the laptop to send the picture to the external monitor--pressing Function key + F8 would do that. Change the tv to the correct input port. Look up "connect a tv" in help for exact directions for your model.

You have to match ports on the computer and the tv. The svideo cable should be svideo to svideo, not vga. VGA must be vga on both ends and on both tv and computer. If you have a svideo on the computer and the tv, use a regular svideo cable and add audio cables for sound. You must hook this up with both the computer and the tv off then turn them on, change to external monitor and to the Svideo input on the tv. I have to tell you that after tearing your hair out over this, you probably won't like the results.

that didnt work and i cant find anything in help all it talks about is xbox 360. my tv screen blinks when i hit function + f8 but nothing happens after that. the cord i am using is vga to s video and i have s video slot on my tv where i connect it. well now after trying that and plugging in the video cord in my tv and into the vga adapter  it shows lines across my screen does this make any sense?????

no dont really like the results but thats the way things go sometimes thanks for ur help anyway

i have been working on acwall04 problem at there house and we have bought a vga to svideo converter will that not work with this setup because the pc only has a vga output and the tv only has a svideo input.
