If you were able to extend the display, that means the graphics card or device in your computer, has recognized that something is connected to the video output. Now, you need to go to the television, and set it to "video" instead of some channel. On my TV, clicking down through the channels, gets me to "video" just below Channel 3. Then, whatever is connected to the Composite or S-video connector on the TV, is viewable. To start, set the resolution on the TV output port to 640x480. See if the TV is picking up anything, when it is set to "video". For sound, you may have to use your computer speakers. My TV doesn't have a sound input. If the TV has left and right audio input, you'd need a 1/8" stereo to dual RCA cable, to make an audio connection. The 1/8" plug goes to the computer audio output (like green Lineout jack), while a TV might have RCA connectors on it. In this picture, the black plug goes to the computer, the red and white to the TV audio inputs. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103865 Paul |
