QUESTION: How do you connect my laptop to my HDTV and connect to Home theatre .

[Schimitar]

Patulong po. How do u connect ur laptop to your hdtv and connect your sounds to the Home theater system?

Natatakot po kasi ako magkamali bka may masira.

Does your laptop have an HDMI or a DVI slot? If it does, madali na yan. HDMI and DVI will output HD signals to the TV, making your TV essentially an extension of your laptop screen. Just buy the proper cables.

if the sound card of your lappy has optical out, you can use that to connect to the HT system. any cheap optical cable will do(kasi mahal talaga ang optical cables so kung makakita ka ng mumurahing brand patulan mo na agad)..kung wala, just get an ordinary audio jack

[Schimitar]

May HDMI, kaso nagtanong ako sa Mkti, ang mahal. Ung may gold connector lang daw ang avble. Gusto ko sana ung ordinary lang kahit ung mga unang version.

Naghanap ako ng DVI, kaso parang phase out na, kasi laging HDMI inaalok sa kin. Parehong technology lang daw yon. and also Kailanang pa raw ng connector or adaptor kasi mas malaki ung dvi.

CD-R King...you can get HDMI cables there for less than 500...1.3a na yata version nun, good enough for your lappy to lcdtv setup..

pag sa mga AV shops ka nagtanong, talagang papatayin ka sa presyo nun, ang low end HDMIs nila eh 1k ang price..

[sjon014]

Some LCD TV's have DVI ports. Nonetheless, tama nga. Both DVI and HDMI are plenty beefy enough for HD signals.

Oh, +1 sa CDR-King.

bossing yung lappy ko VGA lang ang out for video,..meron kayang cable na VGA to HDMI,kasi ung input sa LCDTV ko may VGA(separate ang audio),unlike sa HDMI sama na both AV,possible kaya?

hdmi - audio/video

it will not make sense if youll get a vga to hdmi converter since wala din namang magbabago sa quality ng video/picture since ang source nya pa din ay vga..

so kung yung lcd tv mo may vga, mag vga ka.. then out the sound to your home theater..

[QBERT (BERT QUITEVEZ)]

If you want to save some money. Ordinary vga cable will do. Pero cyempre, kung may chance kang mag-upgrade later. Upgrade to HDMI. High definition video and high resolution audio. Kasi digital cable na cya. It is capable of transmitting uncompressed digital data.

kung vga cable gagamitin ko. paano naman ang connection ng audio papunta sa home theatre system na 5.1?

[sjon014]

Wave Out ng laptop (usually green stereo jack) to the corresponding input of your audio receiver. Note that most lappies don't come equipped with the ports for 5.1. There won't be an out for the centre channel, and the rear satellites. (Usually black and orange)

All green will give is front satellite stereo output, and possibly the subwoofer if you have one.

[marzi]

^agree.. but if you have a DVD Home Theater System, mas maganda dun mo na i-direct yung audio mo para yun na ang mag convert ng 5.1 channel at magamit mo lahat ng speakers ng HT system..

pero putting hardware aside, sa laptop nyo may mga players like Zoom player max na kung matyaga at marunong kayong mag tweak ng video at audio settings eh magmumukang Hi-Def ang video na ipe-play nyo..so kahit naka VGA connection lang kayo papuntang LCDTV, malinaw pa din ang labas..
