Connecting powerbook g4 to samsung lcd le32 r7

does anyone know how to connect a powerbook g4 to a samsung lcd le32 r7. At the moment im using a dvi to vga adapter. The mac can see the tv but the tv cannot see the mac. i have tried different modes on the tv and different screen resolutions but none seem to work. The adapter works fine with a normal crt monitor is it worth buying a dvi to vga cable or does anyone know how to get it to work via dvi hdmi?

I would use a DVI to HDMI cable, and you'll have to use a separate audio cable also. A number of people on Amazon have recommended http://www.monoprice.com/products/department.asp?c_id=109 as a good cable source. If you look in your Samsung user guide, I think you'll find that S-video doesn't support as high a resolution as HDMI.

  • Connecting Macbook to new Samsung LCD

    Apologies if its been asked before but I cant figure out the technical mumbo jumbo
    I have a C2D Macbook with Leopard and now want to connect it to my new Samsung 26 LCD to watch videos which have been stored on my mac.
    I know I have to buy a chord for that (which one) but will the picture quality be okay? The Samsung model is LA26A450C1 and it has a resolution of 1366 x 768. Do I have to plug it in AV or HDMI and is my LCD compatible with the macbook?
    Again, sorry for such a basic question.

    You have three optional adapters to get the video signal out of the MacBook through the built-in mini-DVI port:
    mini-DVI to DVI, chained with an additional DVI to HDMI adapter/cable, for the best digital signal. (recommended option)
    mini-DVI to VGA, for an analog signal with a VGA/Dsub15 computer monitor cable.
    mini-DVI to Video (either S-Video or Composite) for an analog signal, usually for PAL or NTSC equipment.
    you will also need to run an audio cable from the little headphone jack on the MacBook to a AUX line-input on your stereo or TV.

  • CONNECTING FENDER SPEAKERS TO SAMSUNG LCD TV

    I have a Samsung Model LN22A50 LCD tv and a set of Fender Passort Passive Speakers PDP-1 with a PDP-S50 Subwoofer.  I have tried to hook them up the way the speaker directions say, however it is not working.  Can anyone research the diagrams on the back of these two items and help me?  Any ideas are greatly appreciated. 

    Firstly, are you talking about the Samsung LN22A450? There isn't anything by the model number of LN22A50 according to Samsung's website.
    Second, looking at the two items, it should be a simple matter of running a set of RCA cables from the TV's "Audio Out" Left and Right, and hooking them into the the "Line Input" on the Fender sub unit. Since it appears that the sub provides power for everything, make sure the sub is plugged into the power cord, is turned on, and then that the speakers are hooked up to the "HF Output" spring terminals on the sub. I don't have a manual in front of me, but from looking at a picture I would assume that's how it operates. Then make sure that you don't leave the volume knob on the back of the Fender sub turned all of the way down.
    Is this what you did already?

  • Connecting intel mini to samsung lcd NOT just as monitor

    I want to use my mini as an entertainment hub, so I want audio too. I have the dvi going to hdmi right now, but of course no audio.
    I am pretty sure from research that component out from dvi wont work. The only reason I ask is because a component in would leave me a place to put the audio in on my tv, keeping the signal together. I have the audio out on my tv going to my stereo (if I want it) so as to not be tied to surround sound all the time.
    So I am thinking my only mini audio option is to put the video into the tv through hdmi and the audio right into the stereo.
    That is unless anyone here has any inside info or secret knowledge they would like to share???
    Thanks in advance.
    John

    The mini outputs video only through the display connector, so regardless of what adaptors you use, you will not get audio.
    However, most TVs which have input for external devices such as computers, have at least one port which offers video with separate audio connectors - and then a setting in the TV to switch that input between accepting audio via the video connector or the separate audio. That's how I have my mini connected to a Toshiba HDTV and it works very well.
    One way or another, you can't keep the video and audio together since the mini doesn't offer that option. Wether you route the audio to the TV or a separate stereo system, I think that's really your only practical choice.

  • How do i connect mac book pro 5.5 to samsung lcd tv (series 5)?

    i have a macbook pro 5.5 and tried to connect it to my samsung lcd tv series 5 -  i have mini display port to hdmi cable, hdmi cable and phono to rga cable - i can see screen but cannot hear any sound... can anyone help?
    thanks

    I assume you mean rca... what is happening is you're outputting digital sound via your hdmi. Phono or anything analog will not work if you're playing using hdml, because it plays both sound and sends video. what you should do is plug the hdmi cord from your mDP directly into the hd tv, then run whatever sound output the tv has to what i assume is a reciever for sound. Let the tv decode the audio to then output to your "phono" or "rga".

  • Ipod Classic 120gb to Samsung LCD TV and Home cinema

    Any help or suggestions would help.
    I have just bought a New Ipod Classic 120gb and connected it to my Samsung LCD TV and Home cinema systems. The Ipod connects fine but the order of the music on the tv is all mixed up. Is there anyway to sort out the order so it displays in album or even artist order?

    Yes, I bought the dock so I could hook it up to my tv. Then I had to buy the cable, I didn't get the cable from Apple. at the time the cable was $50, I went to ebay & found the same cable for about $20. Just like you, I could not find an answer about why the dumb thing wouldn't work, so I just had do my own experiments. Good luck getting Apple to do anything. They don't seem to want to give anything away or replace merchandise.
    Take care!!

  • Late 2009 Macbook aluminium Output to Samsung LCD (SyncMaster 710T) problem

    Have bought a Mini-Display port to DVI cable for connecting macbook to the Samsung LCD monitor. Output is fine but if i left my desk (with macbook on), and when the Macbook goes to power saving mode or sleep...after i switch it back on, my lcd display flicker and fails. It too fails to get signal at times...am I experience a weird problem?
    or there is in fact some fault with my macbook?
    or my LCD problem?

    Anyone encounters what I am experiencing now?
    I noted that there is an update for the Mini-Display Port to VGA.
    What about DVI??

  • Connecting iMac G5 to Samsung 40" LCD television.

    Hi folks,
    A friend of mine is about to purchase his first Mac, an iMac G5.
    He currently owns a 40" Samsung LCD television, the exact model can be seen here:
    http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/television/tftlcd/le40r51bxxeu.asp?page=Speci fications
    He would like to know if it's possible to connect the iMac to his television and if so, which of the numerous cables available in the apple store would be best for him to purchase? I've tried my best to advise him but there's simply too many on offer to make a guess.
    Could anyone replying, if possible, provide a link to the cable required (if possible).
    Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    I do not think it would be a good idea to connect an iMac G5 to that TV. First reaosn being that the signal coming out of an iMac is VGA, which is analog, and turning analog to digital is not exactly a good idea. That TV has DVI in, (Digital Video Interface). You would not be getting that great of quality if you ended up splitting the VGA into composite video, the yellow white and red cables. Your friend's best bet would be to get either, a Mac mini, Powermac G5, or a Powerbook. Keep in mind if he gets a Powerbook 12 inch he will need a mini DVi to regular DVI adaptor, which does not affect quality. Quite frankly the iMac is the worst choice for this application. If you could find a TV that utilizes VGA, that would greatly improve the situation, but since he owns the tv already that would not exactly be conveniant. The iBook would also be a bad choice, because it has VGA out. If you do not want to dish out the crazy amount of money for the PMG5, then get a powerbook, the performance isn't much different compared to the G5 iMac. If I were your friend, I would wait for an update to the iMac line, or Powerbook. I have an IMac right now and I have ran into weird little minor issues. This probably isn't the best computer Apple makes right now. Powerbooks are very good.

  • How do I connect my iMac to my Samsung LCD TV?

    I want to connect my 2009 iMac, Mac os x version 10.5.8 to my 2008 Samsung LCD TV, model LN32A450C1D.  Does anyone know what cords I will need so I can watch videos from my computer on my TV?
    Thanks.

    Your mac has a mini display port so you'll need to adapt that to HDMI on your TV. I have a mini display port to DVI that I bought from the Apple Store, then a DVI to HDMI adapter. Be aware that this will only carry the video signal, you'll need seperate audio cables to carry the audio signal. You can buy adapters for cheap but I've read of some people having problems with no name adapters working with their Macs, so I spend a few more $$ and shop at the apple store.

  • Trouble connecting Macbook to Samsung LCD TV

    Hello,
    I tried connecting my Macbook to my Samsung LCD TV (through a DVI to HDMI cable) but I only got a black screen and "No signal". The macbook detects the Samsung and even displays "SAMSUNG" as a detected display.
    I checked the TV manual and there I found "Don't connect a PC or laptop computer to the HDMI/DVI connectors (it will result in a black screen)"
    Does anybody know why? Any solution?
    Will this happen with a MacMini too? I had the intention to connect it to my TV and use it as a media center

    Sorry to tell you that DVI does not support sound.  You either have to use a HDMI cable (with the appropriate adapter) or tap your audio output port with a 'Y' type cable configuration for sound.
    Ciao.

  • Connecting a Macbook Pro to a Samsung LCD TV. Can anyone tell me where to find information on what I need and how to do it?

    I want to connect my 2009 Macbook Pro to my Samsung LCD TV. I am afraid to go somewhere and ask and get bogus information so am putting it out here to see if anyone can help with the how tos and the types of cords/adapters I might need to purchase.

    You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

  • MacBook connecting with VGA to Samsung 40" LCD TV -- picture is offset

    I just plugged my MacBook into a Samsung 40" LCD TV with a VGA cable and a mini-DVI/VGA adapter. The picture looks crisp and great on the TV at 1360x768, except for one major problem -- on the TV, the whole screen is shifted to the right by maybe 200 pixels, so that there's a black bar on the left and the rightmost stuff (like the spotlight icon and the time) gets cut off.
    This happens with mirroring on and off, and the laptop screen displays normally.
    Anyone encounter this before and know how to fix it? If not, might switching to a DVI-to-HDMI connection work better?

    Does your TV have an auto adjust menu option, like regular LCD monitors? If not have you tried turning the TV off and then back on while the MacBook is connected? Under your System Prefs, does it detect and list the Samsung LCD? Have you tried clicking the "Detect Displays" button while everything is hooked up?
    PS I run DVI out on my Mac Mini to my Samsung DLP TV. DVI seems to be a sharper picture than the few times I used the VGA input.

  • Connecting my new sony str hd800 to my Samsung LCD.

    I want to make sure that HDMI out from the receiver to HDMI in on the TV is the way to hook up my receiver (Sony str dh800) to my Samsung LCD TV (think it is a 52" lcd 650)  I don't remember now but when I tried it (looked at it but didn't connect it) last night I didn't think it looked correct.  If I didn't need to help with the kids I probably would have tried it.  Just want to make sure!  Thanks! 

    right now I have it connected to the rca audio input on the tv

  • Connecting G4 to new Samsung 40" LCD

    my wife is bedridden and wants to use my old G4 (10.3.9) with dual 1.2 Ghz processors, Bus speed 100 Mhz, & 20" NVDA Display B. I was think of putting the screen on a hospital bed tray & getting a large lap top desk (with bean bag) to put the keyboard & mouse on, but she wants to connect to her new TV about 10-12 feet away. It has 1360 x 768 @ 60Hz. It also has S-Video2, PC, HDMI 1 & HDMI 2 connections. Is this possible? I am worried that if I could connect, the printing would be too small (as she likes to surf the web and also stream radio shows). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, George

    Depending on your video card this can be quite easy. I currently have my MDD listed below hooked to a 23" older Cinema display through the ADC output. Then I have a 40" Samsung 4095DX (1920x1080) hooked to the DVI output of the same video card (currently Nvidia Geforce4 Titanium, though was ATI Radeon 9000 both work great), with a DVI to HDMI cable. There is some overscan but it doesn't bother me much using the Samy as a second monitor in extended desktop mode. Dont see why you couldn't use the Samy's VGA input as well (its probably less fussy). I played around with "Switchresx" trying to get rid of the overscan but its way too complicated. See this thread over on the AVS forum to learn more about Switchresx as well as the ins and outs of going DVI-I to HDMI (you will need to quit your day job to figure this stuff out, fun though);

    The AVS forum is a great resource for this stuff and there are a # of threads directly related to Samsung LCDs. The above thread though was most helpful to me. There is also a whole section on Mac home theater.

  • Connecting MBP to new Samsung 46" LCD 6300 series

    Hello All,
    I'm trying to connect my 46" Samsung LCD TV to my MBP through the network but I don't seem to know how. I have a bittorrent client, Vuze, that seems to find the LCD TV through the network but is there something more proprietary? I tried looking in Samsung's website but all they have is software for the PC, not the Mac. It would be great if I could wirelessly connect my Mac to my LCD TV! THanks for all your help

    Wireless? Whoa, that's not possible now. If it possible, the price will be very expensive. In fact You only need a cable from MBP to Display, i.e. Mini DisplayPort Male to HDMI Male Cable
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-30-30-gold-plated-mini-displayport-male-to-hdmi-m ale-6-feet-cable.aspx
    But you know, until now Mini DisplayPort can not output audio but only video. As far as I know Cable Matters Inc. has solution for audio output.If you want high audio quality Mini Displayport Male and Toslink Audio/USB Male to HDMI Female Adapter is good for you since it supports 5.1 Channel audio.
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    You will need another HDMI to HDMI cable from this adapter to the TV/Screen.
    If you don't require high quality audio this is an alternative Mini DisplayPort Male and USB Male Audio to HDMI Female Adapter.
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-24-32-mini-displayport-male-and-usb-male-audio-to -hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    You will also need an HDMI to HDMI cable from this adapter to your TV/Screen.
