Probs while using TV+laptop with 7 pin S video/RC cable

[ndj]

Hi guyz,

I've been trying to connect my laptop to TV using a s video / RC cable.
For TV, I've these 3 colored RCs while for laptop end, I use 7 pin s video.

But in spite of taking TV in AV mode I cant view my laptop screen on TV.

Can anyone tell me what all settingz are needed to be done at TV/laptop ends ?

I don't know what you are trying to describe, but it sounds like you are trying to say you have an S-Video cable that splits to a Component video cable and it doesn't work.

Just use a straight S-Video cable, if your TV has Component in it definately has S-Video.

After searching thru all the related posts only I've posted my prob !

I've a Polaroid TV which doesnt have a S video terminal. It has those red-yello-white RCA terminals for connecting dvd player etc.

My laptop is dell with Win Xp Home Edition and it has S video input with 7 Pins.

I got this cable :

This has 3 heads for TV side and 7 pins for laptop side.
My prob is, even after connecting it all correctly and setting TV to AV mode, I cant see anything gettined trasnferred to TV screen from laptop screen. Tv remains blank.


So what setting is needed from laptop side?
