Sony Wega connection

I have kv34xbr910 (Wega) cathode tube with hd. There is a dvi port on the set. Sony says this is not intended for computer hookup. The other connections available are component(rgb). What is the best hookup I can make with the dvi on my macbook pro(early 2008)?
Thank you

there is an Svideo on the wega as well.

How do I connect DVI to Scart (or S-serial) on my Sony WEGA?

Does anyone know how I can connect my MacBook Pro (with a DVI socket) to my Sony WEGA TV. The TV has both Scart and S-serial video (plus the red and white audio sockets).
Many thanks,
Richard

If it's an older Mac with DVI Output then you need something like:

If it's a newer Mac with the mini port you're going to need two adapters such as:
mini displayport to VGA http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?mco=NDY5OTAzNQ
then VGA to S-Video http://www.amazon.com/TV-Out-VGA-S-Video-RCA-Adapter/dp/B000S675JU

2008 MBPro to Sony Wega Trinitron TV?

I've got a 2.4 GHZ MB Pro from mid-2008. I am trying to connect the CPU to an older model Sony Wega Trinitron TV (probably 2004). I have an DVI to Component Video cable, which goes into the back of the TV, but I can't get a picture on the TV. All I get is b/w feedback. I tried going through all of the different resolutions available in my Display prefs, but nothing worked. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
I am thinking I might need that DVI to S-video adapter that Apple sells? Maybe I just need to use the VGA adapter included with my macbook and go VGA? Pretty sure the TV is VGA.
Thanks,
JB

Some TVs have the ability to switch one or more of their component video inputs to receive RGB encoded video over the input instead of the usual YPbPr encoding. See if your TV can perform that trick.
Otherwise, you are correct that you will need to get the Apple DVI to Video Adapter in order to connect your TV. Although you mention you think your TV is VGA. If by that you mean it has a the standard 3-row, 15-pin VGA connector on it, then use an Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter.

FINALLY! Mac mini to old Sony WEGA tv success!

After having tried several different setups I finally got it working.
My late 2009 Mac mini is now hooked up to my old 27” Sony WEGA Trinitron TV.
They magic/missing link was the “VGA to RCA/ S-Video/VGA Converter” from MonoPrice ($27.51).
I used a mini display port to VGA adapter ($13.47, but can get them cheaper) from my Mac mini to the converter and then from the converter to the tv using a standard composite (yellow RCA) cable. Then another cable from the Mac mini audio port to the red/white ports on the tv. Started up the Mac mini and all was good...almost.
The resolution on the tv just isn’t good for text, and it’s often difficult to read, but the main reason I’m using the setup is video. Hulu, YouTube, TWIT live, etc. All of these have picture quality equal to that of the tv hooked up to cable tv. I tried changing the Mac minis display resolution, but found the default setting of 1024 x 768 works best for video. I have a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac in my office. I just turned on Internet Sharing on the iMac and turned on Airport on the mini to get the wireless internet connection. No Base Station/Router needed. I have a bluetooth mouse, and an Apple wireless keyboard. I can now sit back on the sofa and enjoy!
This isn’t a permanent solution, but until I can upgrade the tv, it will do just fine.

is it apple branded or an off brand?
I bought it through amazon. NOT Apple branded. The seller was Global Source. There are other sellers on amazon that are less expensive, and some that are more expensive. I’ve heard of people having problems with some cables, so I didn’t want to go with the cheapest one, and settled on a mid priced cable.

Getting mac min to look good on Sony Wega 30" HDTV CRT (KV-30HS420

Got a new mac mini (Intel 1.83 GHz) and am hooking it up to a Sony Wega 30" HDTV CRT (model no. KV-30HS420) using an DVI to HDMI cable. No problems selecting input and getting an image, but at 1280 x 720 the desktop looks horrible. Turning off "overlace" gets all of my desktop back in view, but everything is blurry and it is simply not acceptable for my 78 year old father.
Is it simply not possible to get a descent image on this set? Should I just opt for buying him a wide screen flat panel display?
Please advise.

Unfortunately a CRT-based HDTV is never going to look very good when used as a computer monitor. You will probably need to get a nice LCD TV for your father.
How far away will he sit from the TV? Even if the screen were clear, as it will be with an LCD, there are still limits to what can be seen when you are too far away. Keep that in mind.

Is Apple TV compatible with Sony WEGA KV34HS420?

It has one HDMI so yes it should be compatible.

Macbook Pro 13 (June 2011) and Sony Bravia connectivity using HDMI port.

Hi,
I have searched many forums and posts here and there, but no where got the perfect solution, also most of the places people are misxing the problems with other problems.
My Problem: I am not able to see even Sovy TV in my MBP display page, and hence not able to connect to Sony Bravia to my MBP.
What I am using: Macbok pro 13 June 2011, Lion 10.7.2, Sony Bravia 40EX550, DVI Mini Adaptor for Mac (at one side DVI male connector and other side female HDMI connector) and one HDMI cable (the cable which comes with my DTH provider both ends are for Male HDMI pin)
I do not think i would require anything more in this.
Now after connecting with Adaptor to my MBP i connected the other end to HDMI cable which was already connected to HD TV HDMI port (there are 4 ports and i tried all the ports)
When i opened the System Pref -> Displays I got below screen
Here in above screen I clicked on Detect Displays but nothing happens, actually it should detect the Sony Tv and there on I sohuld do some settings.
Please any one can help on that. Sorry for this repeated kind of problem , but I have searched in many forums and here on discussion.apple.com also , but evywhere people are mixing 2 different problem into one, some people are not getting the display and few of them not event getting the detection of the HDTV. So I posted here for the later one.

Right now your MBP is not recognizing the TV. You should get a display in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS similar to this. Note the 'Arrangement option in the menu bar. Your connections are bad or you have a faulty cable and/or adapter.
I assume you are using a MINI DISPLAY PORT/HDMI adapter, not a DVI adapter.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro to Sony Bravia connection

Hi,
I would like to connect my Macbook Pro to my Sony Bravia KDL-32V2000 but I'm not sure what input connection i need on the TV and what cable i need?
There is a HDMI input but that is being used with the cable box. Will the PC input connection work?
Thanks,
Carl

... I can use the PC port situated close by. However, is this likely to reduce the quality?
What are you going to be viewing? Just programs on the Mac? Or DVD movies?
Due to the size and "excitement" factor, you might want to try that option out first. It is also your least expensive option! Use the litrtle white video adapter that came with your MBP, and get a cable from it to the PC INPUT of the monitor.
... Secondly, can I get a dual HDMI adaptor and have both cables connected ...
And that's your more expensive option: a HDMI-male - to HDMI-male cable, and an "A-B HDMI Switchbox."
The profit/markup on HDMI cables can be enormous. For example, at a large retailer here in the U.S., I find a 6-foot HDMI cable for US$69.95. The same cable is on eBay for forty dollars less. Just purchase from reputable dealers, and check the feedback. There ARE differences in quality and workmanship with these cables, so please don;t just go for price alone.
A switchbox? I would go to the HDTV online magazines and read reviews. Or contact your local HDTV dealer for support. This might be the time to establish or re-establish your relationship with a local dealer, where pricing might not be rock-bottom, but advice, and the ability to return products without hassle is worthwhile.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sony Wega

I want to hook my macbook up to my sony 60" Wega HDTV. What would be the best looking way to do that? I already have the mini-DVI to VGA and mini-DVI to DVI that i frequently use with external monitors so i have those already if they might help in my request. I guess i could get the mini-DVI to video cable and that would work but i just wanted to get opinions on what is my best option. thanks
and btw i already checked if it has DVI or VGA ports and it doesnt so i do have hdmi input, HD plugs(like the green and blue and whatever color the others are), and the red, yellow, and ?white? plugs.

Hello there. I think I'm a little confused about what your question is. Please correct me if I'm wrong. You basically want to know what's the best option to use on your 60" Wega HDTV but you don't have a VGA or DVI input.
If you DO have HDMI inputs you can always purchase a DVI to HMDI converter/cable. They're relatively easy to find. I just searched on Amazon and there are quite a few different makes and models. Just a little FYI...I've had great experiences with Belkin and Acoustic Research but feel free to look at all the different brands.

HT1551 Will atv work on a sony wega kdf55

will atv work on a sony grand wega kdf 55xs955?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Your TV, after doing a quick search on the Internet, does not appear to have any HDMI inputs, so unfortunately the Apple TV will not work with it straight out of the box.

Mac mini -n- sony wega crt tv

my sony (crt) tv has a dvi-hdtv connector but the sony docs say it is intended for use with compuers. with a bit of searching around i found one reference that in fact this connector does work with the mac mini. anyone know for sure? thanks

Generally - yes - Apple's mini DVI works with anything that is not "dual link".
Your questions do not provide nearly enough information for someone to do the work for you and look up the specifications. Last time I checked, sony made a handful more than 3 TV and Wega models - so you would be getting a shot in the dark if anyone tried to answer...

Which cable should use for Sony DV connect to iMac ?

Which cable should use for Sony DV(IEEE 1394)connect to iMac ?

If your iMac has just the FireWire 800 connection, you will need the 9 pin to 4 pin cable.

If your iMac has the FireWire 400 connection, you will need the 6 pin to 4 pin cable.

Sony PSP connection to Airport

My son got a Sony PSP for X-mas and we have been trying to connect it to our home Airport Extreme network via wi-fi. The PSP sees our network and shows a strong signal. I popped in the Hex equivalent WEP key, but when I go to connect it tells me that don't have the authority to connect. I also have a Wii that I connected without any problems. Am I missing something?

Sony PSP is a 811.11 B device (not G). So if only 811.11G enabled on your Airport, it won't be able to use it. If you made Airport "811.11G only", this is the case.
Also the security must be "WPA and WPA2", not "WPA2 only".
If these doesn't work. If you got a memory stick with PSP (I guess bundled) and if there is some other open network which you can connect (such as Cafe, neighbor etc.) , you should charge it completely and run its "Firmware update check", which is similar to OS X Software update.

Does anyone know if a cable exists that would connect Airport Express to a Sony DMport connection?

I have a Sony home cinema amp and the only unused connection is a DMport. I have googled, but can't seem to get a definative answer. Can anyone help?

The DMPort is for a special Sony manufacturered iPod adapter or other Sony product only.
The port will not work with an AirPort Express, even if you could figure out how to manufacture the cable and plugs at both ends.
