Step 1 - I have a desktop computer.
Step 2 - I have a CRT TV.
Step 3 - I want to use the DVI output.
We have a solution for you.
|
 |
Use a DVI to VGA cable and a VGA to S-Video converter.
|
|
|
If your CRT TV has a S-Video input then this is your solution. First you need a DVI to VGA cable.
|
|
| While you can also use a DVI to VGA adapter and then use a VGA to VGA cable, the DVI to VGA cable makes for a simpler solution. |
|
|
|
|
|
Next you need to get a VGA to S-Video converter box. It converts the computer's video signal into a TV signal.
|
|
|
|
Be sure to look for a converter box not an adapter cable, they are very different.
|
|
|
|
| To connect your laptop to the converter box you need a VGA cable. |
|
|
|
| Shop for VGA cables at Amazon.com |
| |
| To connect the converter box to your TV you need a S-Video cable. |
|
|
|
|
|
| To play the audio from your computer through your CRT TV you will need a 3.5mm to RCA cable. |
|
|
|
|
The 3.5mm plug will connect to the speaker out of your computer. The red and white RCA plugs will connect to the right, left channel inputs next to the S-Video input you used on your TV.
