I've connected my laptop to my tv using s video ables but can't grt it to display. Can you help?

it wont work sorry :(

Try lowering screen resolution on TV. There is a chance your video card can't handle HD like 1080 dpi or higher. Plus make sure TV input is set to VGA.

Hello, I am sorry about your issue. It sounds like your receiver needs to be serviced. Thank you, Onkyo USA

Yes, you should be able to. You will need to buy a $20 adapter. Sewell Direct sells them, also Amazon.com. They are called VGA to RCA composite video converter. This will convert your laptop's VGA output to RCA composite video for connection to your TV yellow video input. Connect an audio cable from laptop's earphone output to the TV's RCA audio inputs (white and red) using a 3.5mm to RCA adapter cable available at Radio Shack for about $10. This will work. You can see everything that the laptop displays on the TV. You can even hookup a VCR to record it all.

well, if the cable and adapters are friendly (meaning, you are able to plug the right video connection from LT to TV), sometimes you need to tell you LT that you have a second screen to output video. To do that, there should be a display icon in your bottom-right taskbar. Double click, and you should be able to see the options to either clone, pan, or primary your second display screen. :D

Your model laptop has S-Video out capabilities. Depending on what model TV you are connecting to, you would then need an S-Video to (whatever input connection your TV supports: S-Video, VGA, RCA, HDMI) cable. Once you have the cable connected, set your TV to the input method for the cable used, and press Fn + F4 on your laptop Keyboard to project the image over. May need tp press more than once depending if you wish to only display on one screen or both. S-Video is only a video out cable, so you will alos need to run an audio connector cable from your laptop to TV as well, or just use a pair of external laptop speakers for your sound.

You will need to change the TV's input select to S-Video to view your notebooks display. Remember S-Video is just that, Video and no sound. You'll need to patch the audio in via Audio In input on the TV if you haven't already?

Try the external monitor option is the display settings. See if that works for you. If not contact acer tech support and they will definetly be able to help you with the issue.

you should be able to right click on an empty space on your desktop and choose graphics properties and then the output option should be able to be set and the resolution changed if needed, set your tv for AV3 or s video and connect a seperate audio cable as s video is video only
