Martin963 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 In the case of our DELL laptop it was a question of obtaining a lead with a mini DIN plug on one end and a phono plug on the other - this also combined the picture signal (which if I recall was S-VHS type) into composite video, although with visible degradation of the picture. The phono then went into the TV, although you might need to get a phono to SCART adaptor if your TV doesn't have a (yellow) phono socket for video in. The sound was obtained just by using a mini stereo jack (3.5 mm) out to phonos and thence to an amplifier. We got the lead from cpc (www.cpc.co.uk) and used part AV04578, I guess (stress that word) that AV08373 would get you through to SCART. However, suggest you see if anyone else has any better ideas - as I say I don't know about the second option, and the one we use is not brilliant picture quality. All numbers from last year's catalouge, and not sure if they are 0 or O's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 In my reply above I should have written S-Video instead of S-VHS which is something entirely different. My apologies. I've just checked the back of our new PC and it has the same mini-din type plug for TV output as the laptop, though I have not actually tried it out.
