Beth: How do you configure a laptop to connect it to the tv?
I want to connect my laptop to the tv. I need specific instructions on how to configure my laptop. I have an s video cable, and my laptop is a HP Pavilion with Windows XP. I am using a 4 pin S Video cable. The laptop has a 7 pin S Video jack. Does that affect it?

The extra 3 holes in the jack probably aren’t hooked up to anything so it will probably be fine. If you’r able to hook it up to the tv, but it there’s no signal, try pressing the button that looks like a tv with two lines around it. It’s F3 on my computer. You may have to hold the Fn button while pressing the other button.
hi….
the 7 pins s-video cable is able to transmit both audio and video signals…so u can watch a movie using the tv speakers,,,,with the 4 pins s-video,,,it will transmit only the video signal….my laptop is supplied with 7 pins s-video port but i use a 4-pins s-video cable and external speakers from the headphone jack…that works perfectly…and u have to push the screen signed button while holding fin to switch between the tv and laptop view….good luck
