Tv Out

[jdogfour20]

I have tried hooking my computer up to my tv so i can watch movies. but when i hook up the s cable to my video card then to my tv.(i use an adaptor cause my tv has no s cable jack) nothing happens. any help?

make sure ur tv is set t the input ur comp is conected to, which im guesing will be the scart.
also make sure ur tv out on your computer is turned on,
not sure how, but with mine, i go into display properties > settings > advanced.
then it is in there under displays.

thx u much it worked but i cant get sound to come out my tv any way to do that?

[Livy]

the s-video is only for videosignal, u will need a seperate cable for sound. if it is a scart adaoter u have, it will have plugs for auido, just jook ur pc up into it through that, itll work fine,
the cable ul need will prob be a headphone socket to phono.

i hooked up an audio jack but there is still no sound

[Livy]

ah, i see, where is is plugged into, in pc and tv.

[jdogfour20]

yep its hooked up right but im not getting sound out of my tv

[Livy]

where did u plug it into the tv?
and where did u plug it on the pc?

[jdogfour20]

i plugged it into my video card i think and to my tv

[Livy]

try plugging it into where ur speakers are plugged into

[jdogfour20]

ahh ok well my i dont have a jack that will fit in my speker and my tv so i guess i will have to buy 1. Thx u very much for all your help though

[Livy]

no prob, what i use is a scart adapter with svideo and audio connections, then a svideo lead, and a headphone socket to phono lead, thats how mine is set up anyway.

[jdogfour20]

i still a little confused on what cable i need to buy?

[Livy]

is it a scart adapter u use? wi 3 or 4 connectors on it?

[jdogfour20]

i guess it call a rf modulator, it has a/v and sv on it, sorry im not to bright when it comes to this stuff?

[Livy]

hm not to sure what u mean.
so it the video signal staright from ur pc to the tv?

[jdogfour20]
