If you are using the RCA cable, then remember to plug the red to the red input panel, yellow to the yellow input panel and white to the white input panel present on the TV set. Then you have to plug in the audio cord into the audio input on the TV set to get the audio feed while you are watching the TV connected with you laptop. Now you can turn on your laptop and your TV set. The laptop will now be able to recognize the TV that has been connected to it. You have to then use your TV remote to select the correct input. The possible options are video 1, video 2 or L1 or L2 depending on how your TV set labels the input device. Put the TV on the right channel, select the input and find the input channel that sees the laptop.
