How to connect Laptop to Tv using svideo cable
Required Items: Laptop/ computer, TV set and "S-Video to RCA" cable.
If you don’t have a svideo cable, then buy it from your nearby electronics dealer for approx $3 or $4. Make sure to count the number of pins in laptop’s svideo port. It could be 4 or 7, buy according to that. [for sony vaio models, you can go for the 4 pin svideo cable]
Connect the "S-Video to RCA" cable to the "S-video out" of the computer and to the "video in" (yellow RCA jack) on the TV. This step must be performed before you start up the computer.
In the computer, take the display settings from control panel. Select the second screen and enable the option ”Extend the desktop onto this monitor” and change the resolution accordingly.

I did the display setting yesterday, it worked fine. Today when I turned on my laptop and TV, they both don't display anything. on TV it says unsupported tv signal, on laptop there is nothing. I tried to do the switch, it did not work. Is there a way to reverse the setting? Please advise. Thanks!!!
