Correct cable for connecting to HD TV

I have a Portege m400-s5032, serial # = XXXXXXXXX
I would like to connect it to my Samsung series 440 Plasma TV in order to stream Netflix.
What cable should I use? Do I need an adaptor?
[Moderator edit to remove serial number.]

That laptop has an RGB video output port. From what I can tell looking up the specifications for your TV, that TV does not have an RGB port. It's possible that some sort of converter cable exists, btu I don't know how well they'd work.

    Go to Radio Shack and ask for a Toslink to Mini-Jack Adapter. About 5.00 bucks.

  • What cable for connecting macbook air to dell ultrasharp u2412m?

    would like comments on best cable for connecting my mackboo air ro adell monitor - Iam new to apple and a bit lost.

    The new Airs have mini displayport connectors. I don't know what ports your monitor has, but if it has an HDMI input you can use a mini-DP to HDMI adaptor (these are available from Apple) and then a regular HDMI cable to connect to the screen. Similarly, a mini-DP to DVI adaptor and DVI cable if that's the port you have on your monitor.

  • Correct cable for recording

    I am getting ready to do some "real instrument" recording and am only missing the cable that connects my mic preamp to my PowerBook.
    Should I use a 1/8" mono cable or can I use a stereo TRS cable?
    I am recording with a JoeMeek LDC through the JoeMeek VC3Q preamp/compressor/EQ. It has 1/4" output. Can I use the 1/8" TRS with a 1/4" mono adapter on the preamp end?
    If this has been covered on the forum somewhere else, I am sorry to bring it back up...I could not find the info I am seeking though.
    Thanks,

    Thanks HangTime. Let me ask this then... Say I want to--at some point-- plug my stereo Alesis synth in and record either to two mono tracks or one stereo track. Can I get away with buying only the stereo TRS cable and using it in place of the mono TS cable? or does it depend on the switching of the output device whether the signal will pass correctly?

  • Griffin GarageBand Guitar Cable for connection

    Can I use the Griffin GarageBand Guitar cable to connect my Yamaha mixer to my G5 tower. It's a 1/4" connector to a 1/8" mini-jack.
    Thanks for your help!

    You'll need to tell us more about your setup.
    It could be any number of things, like what effects are you using?
    Or did you know that where your guitar is placed in relation to other electronics can create a magnetic field that is picked up by the guitars pickups? Try moving your guitar around by facing it in other directions and see if that helps.
    Without more info though, that's all I can suggest.
    Good luck.

  • Correct cable for sharing Internet connection?

    My Mac Mini is connected the Net across wi-fi. If I was to share this connection with another device - Xbox or a Freesat TV's Ethernet port - do I need a 'crossover' Ethernet cable, or just a standard one?
    Thanks

    If you have an Intel Mini, cross-over is handled automatically by the Mini -- so either kind of cable will work.

  • Optical or analog cable for connecting Macbook 1,1 to Sony Bravia

    Hello
    I have found a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter (plus HDMI cable) to take the video  from a Macbook 1,1 (all white) to a Sony Bravia TV. Now I need to find the right cable to carry the audio from the Macbook to the Sony Bravia. The Macbook has an optical (digital) audio socket (output?) and the Sony Bravia has 3 HDMI ports and 5 apparent audio jack ports (no idea whether they are 2.5 or 3.5 mm and whether they are analogue or digital). Please could someone advise me which or what sort of audio cable I should buy.
    Here are the Mac specs.

    file:///Users/joylaw/Desktop/Picture%202.png
    Many thanks for any and all help

    OK. So I now have the sound connection working. The 3.5mm jack from the audio cable goes  into the headphone socket, NOT the optical (digital) audio socket on the Macbook, and the red and white jacks go into the respective red and white sockets (surprise, surprise) on the back of the Sony Bravia. I select 'Comp" as the input audio source in the TV settings, and the audio from the computer is broadcast perfectly from the TV internal speakers.
    I am now waiting for delivery of the mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and have a question related to this.
    The TV settings offer options for external devices corresponding to the ports on the TV, which include HDMI and Comp. When I have both the mini-DVI to HDMI and the audio cables connected, should I still choose Comp, or should I switch to HDMI as the external device. Will the TV be able to pick up input from 2 external devices at the same time although only one can be selected?

  • Cable for macbook to tv

    Can somebody please tell me if the Belkin Y Adaptor Cable (http://tinyurl.com/2uzpnb) as sold on the Apple site is the correct cable for connecting the sound for our Macbook to the tv? It's listed as Mfr. Part No.: F8Z180-07-GLD.
    If not, does Apple sell what we need?
    Thanks!
    susan

    Most modern TV's have RCA plugs for sound. Are you just using it for audio or will you be connecting it to use with video also? If your using it with video be sure the audio in ports you hook to correspond to the Video in you're using.
    To be sure just check the manual that came with your TV. It will tell you which audio ports go with which video ports.

  • Difference between these Thunderbolt cables for an iMac?

    What is the difference between these two Thunderbolt cables for connecting Thunderbolt harddrive docking station to an iMac?

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD861ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-20-m
    Thanks!

    Along the lines of this topic, does anyone know whether Mini DisplayPort cables are usable for Thunderbolt? Here's one, for example, that's cheaper than Apple's $29 cable:
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B009NE77TQ/
    I would be concerned about (at least) two things:
    1. Can it handle the speed?
    2. Does it have the right circuit?
    It's possible that if it *seems* to work in a thunderbolt application, you might still run into trouble with intermittent data failure if it's not up to the task.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

  • ITrigue L3800 - Where do I get extension cables for the left & right speaker ? HELP !

    @ reader : I have already contacted Creative Labs themselves but they unfortunately do not offer any extension cables that run between the left or right speaker and the sub-woofer. And since the connection into the sub is a weird looking '3 pins stacked on eachother' type, I am wondering if anyone has seen extension cables for connections like these.
    I am grateful for any help on the issue (adresses, weblinks etc.), because it is really bothering me and the way I want to set up the system in my living room !
    Have a great day !

    OMS. If you can still find it. try searching for Opcode OMS (open music system) You need it to run usb midi interfaces in OS9. Good luck, I'd seriously consider getting Logic express.

  • Connecting a macbook to a tv:  correct cables, still no picture or sound

    I have the correct cables connected securely and I have no picture or sound displaying on the tv.  The mac screen "blinks" once when I unplug the adapter, so it is aware that it is connected to something.
    Current setup:  2010 13" Macbook--> Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter --> VGA Display cable --> Toshiba TV. 
    Also:  Macbook--> Stereo Mini to RCA Y Cable --> TV.
    If I hit system pref--> displays --> detect displays, nothing happens.  The tv is showing its default "I have no dvd in me so I will do nothing" screen.  I have tried changing the channel and input on the tv, restarting my computer, turning the TV on/off, unpluging and repluging cables, all to no avail.  The tv plays dvds just fine and is otherwise in working order as far as I know.  What's wrong here?

    Input button already tried.  It doesn't do anything.
    New thing:  a display icon has now appeared on the top of the screen.  I selected "turn on mirroring" which my television has blatantly ignored.  No progress.
    Also:  guy at Best Buy seemed pretty sure that the RCA cable mentioned previously would do the job for sound, not that that is working either.

  • Re:  Not getting audio from TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all correct cables.

    How do I get audio from the TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all the correct cables?

    Hi Lynn,
    If you're positive you have the correct cables, and positive they work, they must be plugged into an input on the TV made for that purpose, then that input must be selected on the TV's menu.
