    I`m trying to play dvds on my laptop and watch them on my tv. I found an on-line store that sells S-video out to tv cables. 7 pin-3RCA 6ft. cable for $17.95 Is this all I need or am I completely on the wrong track? :confused: Thanks for the help.

    You also need an audio cable if you want sound from your TV instead of your laptop.

    Thanks, the company also offers s-video/audio cable. I just wanted to be sure I was going in the right direction. Has anybody had any experience with doing this? How did it go?
