vaio sz to tv

can anyone help me to connect the sz340 to an tv using the vga port.

i got an vga cable and on the other end, it has both s-video and rca.

I tried to connect it using the rca pin to my tv as my tv has an rca pin.

i connected the vga pin to my notebook and the rca pin to my tv and pressed the Fn+F7 on my notebook and it gives me 2 options(LCD Only, Setup) and the display goes off on my notebook for some seconds and comes back to the notebook itself, it doesnt get transfered to the tv at all...

can anyone help me how to do it??

thanks

 

Did you try it using both speed and stamia?

 

tried only on speed mode.

 

is there no one is this forum to help me guide how to connect the sz to an tv??

has no one connected it ?

 

hi, i'm looking for a vga to s-video adapter, because our vaio SZ's doesn't have.
but i'm not sure if this works with vaio sz.

can someone confirm this?

thanks

 

I also have interest in this.
Anyone has connected a SZ to a TV?

Regards!

 

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=113778&page=3

 

I have read so many reviews, and all I can find is, if your tv has an vga port you are good to go...yuu can connect the latptop to the tv.

If your tv doesnt have an vga, then just buying an vga to s-video/rca in cable wont work untill and unless you buy an converter box to convert the signal from vga to tv.

do not just buy an cable in ebay which says vga to s-video cable, I did the same and I am not able to connect the reason being SZ doesnt support tv out and the signals are differtent between vga and rca in.

 

I like to use component input because I can use my receiver to switch the input.

I use this

you can use it for any pc or notebook.
Your SZ became File sharing FTP server.

This is top of the line but you can find less $100 for none-HDTV model.

 

I've tried connecting my VGA from my sz to my Samsumg lcd VGA but it doesn't detect my notebook (the notebook detects the tv though). I've read up other threads about others having trouble with sz and samsung (40" lcd) not being able to get it to work and haven't seen any resolutions to this yet...

All my other laptops connect to the tv via vga perfectly fine though. So, bad experience with VGA to VGA for me

 

I just got an pcmcia card which will convert the video from my sz notebook to an vga/s-video/rca, so now I have 3 options to connect my notebook to the tv. I have an rca in my tv, so I will use that to conenct it to my tv.

I got this pcmcia card for $20 in ebay.

 

whats the name of the card that you used to make it work? how's the video quality?

 

i will be interested in this pcmcia too
Which is the name?

 

I am yet to receive the item, waiting for it, I just got the item yesterday on ebay, its shipped today, so once I test for the quality, will keep you guys posted.

By the way the item # for the pcmcia card is 280113833474, search for this in ebay and you can find the pcmcia card.

 

Ok I got the item today, tried it on my tv, its good for viewing movies, but if u expect to read the text on the tv screen, you cant, its not that clear to read an text, really good if ur purpose is to watch movies on the tv.

 

but in wich kind of tv have you connected your laptop? in a LCD or normal TV?
because in a normal tv you will never have a good detail quality

 

yeh, i have this issue too with my samsung plasma...

do u have any more info, or can provide me with any links discussing this?

 

Have you gone into the nVidia control panel > Display > Display configuration?

 

who knows if it is possible to connect the SZ to a TV using a vga to components cable?

this cable is easier to find

 

have someone tried this?
