    Hi guys

    I was wondering how the heck you're able to use the AV-IN for the A7SV? :S
    The notebook came with an additional cable with the Red, Yellow, White and S-Video ports.

    When I connect it to the notebook with my TV, there's no notification that it has been connected what so ever. (I've tried with 2 different TVs, with no result) The Nvidia control panel doesn't show any additional monitors either and I can't think of any other possible way to recieve a connection to it.

    I've treid to find it through Windows Media Center, but it doesn't locate any new connections.

    It's really frustrating and people on the official Asus forum don't seem to have a clue either on how it should be used.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I've never connected my laptops to TVs... I can only think of trying to press Fn+F8, with the laptop connected to the TV.

    I'm sure others will have more experience.

    I tried that many times but it doesn't display anything :'(

    This only works if i use the S-Video separate port on the back of the Laptop. The AV-IN doesn't support the S-Video, nor the Red, Yellow, White ports!
