    I recently got the 1683WLMi and want to hook it up to my TV through the S-Video. But sadly My TV does nt have an S-Video In, so got a S-Video to Composite cable and hooked it up. But the I get Black and White! The S-Video on the lappy is a 7 pin and the cable ive attached is a 4 pin. The huy at the store said if i had a 7 pin on my lappy and attached a 4 pin cbale it would come out black and white, but i really doubt thats the case. I tried most of the things i knew, like changing from NTSC to PAL B, thats wat my country standard is and changin the resolution to 800 x 600 but still no luck. Can someone shed some light on this. I really want to watch the movies from my lappy on my TV. Thanks in advance.
