Connecting my Vaio through my TV

[naynem]

Hi

I have just purchased a Vaio VGN-NR38E. I have a VGA port on my laptop and have a S-Video cable to my TV . Can I purchase a VGA to S-Video converter to use my TV as a display?

Also what software will I need or does the Intel Graphics media centre detect my TV?

Cheers
Eric

Hi Eric.

Welcome to Club Vaio.

In order for the VGA to sync with your TV S-Video input, you will need a converter box. The cables alone will not work.

Something like this will do: -

VGA to S-Video Converter

Google (and Amazon) will find many more at about the same price. No additional software should be needed.

You will also need a 3.5mm Stereo jack to 2 X RCA to carry sound from your headphone socket to your TV.

Cheers for that :smileygrin:

I really apreciate your help!
