Q. I have a sharp lc-70LE600U tv and want to connect it to my Dell laptop for both audio and visual. 10 pts for effective answer. Thanks
Answer
Depends on what ports you have on your devices.
This is the best way to hook up your devices:
- 1st hdmi cable to hdmi output on device to hdmi input on receiver for surround sound audio, then 2nd hdmi cable to hdmi output on receiver to hdmi input on tv for tv video.
- Receiver's menu -> manual setup -> hdmi setup -> hdmi audio setup -> send audio to amp (not passthrough to tv).
or
- 1st hdmi cable to hdmi output on device to hdmi input on tv for tv video, then 2nd hdmi cable to hdmi output (or s/pdif optical or s/pdif coaxial output) on tv to hdmi input on receiver for surround sound audio.
or
- Hdmi cable to hdmi output on device to hdmi input on tv for tv video and tv audio. (Audio outputs on tv to audio inputs on a soundbar if you got a soundbar.ect).
If you use a different video cable, video cable to video output on device to video input on receiver, then hdmi cable to hdmi output on receiver to hdmi input on the tv.
- Receiver's menu -> manual setup -> hdmi setup -> hdmi video setup -> 1080 i/p scaling + configure all the other settings.
- (Adapters and/or adapter cables only work one way because one end is male (goes into output device) and the other end is female (you need a additional cable to plug into this end and the other end of this cable plugs into the input device).
For video cables: From best to least:
- Hdmi cable.
or
- Displayport/thunderbolt (out) to display port/hdmi/dvi/vga (in) adapter cable. (DP and hdmi carry both video and audio, dvi and vga only carry video).
or
- Dvi-i/d/a cable. (or dvi-d to hdmi cable). (or vga to dvi-a cable). (or this cable, component (out) on a dvd/blu-ray player to dvi-i (in) on a projector that is designed to accept the component YPbPr color space from the dvi-i input port).
or
- Vga cable. (or this cable, component (out) on a dvd/blu-ray player to vga (in) on a projector that is designed to accept the component YPbPr color space from the vga input port).
or
- Component cable.
or
- Scart cable.
or
- S-video cable. (or s-video to composite cable). (or this adapter cable, vga (out) on a computer to s-video/composite (in), the computer's video card must be designed/support the s-video/composite signal out the vga output port).
or
- Composite video cable.
or
- Coax video cable.
- (Adapters and/or adapter cables only work one way because one end is male (goes into output device) and the other end is female (you need a additional cable to plug into this end and the other end of this cable plugs into the input device).
For audio cables: From best to least:
- Hdmi cable.
or
- Displayport to displayport/hdmi adapter cable. (Both DP/TB ends are male and hdmi end is female).
or
- S/pdif coxial and s/pdif optical cables.
or
- R/W (red=right channel and white=mono/left channel = R/L cables) rca (composite) audio cables.
or
- 3.5mm (or 2.5mm.ect) headphone jack to R/W cable.
There are usb options too:
- Usb (flash drive) or usb cable.
For receiver audio:
- You need a hdmi cable if you have a 8 channel=7.1 surround sound speaker system.
- You also want to use a hdmi cable if you have a receiver that supports the dolby-true-hd and dts-hd surround sound formats.
and
For computer to receiver/tv audio:
- Make sure your outputting rear or hdmi or s/pdif audio. Also make sure your outputting digital audio.
- Download k-lite codec pack for media player classic and use ffdshow video and audio decoders (configure their settings).
and
For computer speaker audio:
- Make sure your sound card can support the computer speakers. (Laptops will need a external sound card that supports up to 5.1/7.1 to hook up to 5.1/7.1 computer speakers).
- Make sure your outputting rear audio and select your speaker setup (2.1 or 5.1 or 7.1).ect.
For computer to tv video:
- Configure your display properties to be able to do dual/clone view or extended view or primary monitor view.
or
- If your video driver/card is not capable of doing dual/clone view or extended view,
- Method 1: Use a control center for your display/graphics card.
- Example: I have a ati/amd display driver. I downloaded a matching version of catalyst control center and used it's basic view settings to set my tv as my primary monitor + many more settings.
- Method 2: Turn computer and tv off -> hook up video cable from computer to tv -> disconnect your computer monitor (vga/dvi) -> turn tv onto either video 1 or hdmi.ect -> then turn on computer and video will display on tv as your primary monitor.

Composite plugs to component plug in?
BigDS
I have a DVD player that has composite wires (red, white, yellow). My TV though, only has component plug-ins (red, white, green, blue, another red). Is there anything I can purchase that converts it or something? I believe they are called switch boxes? A link would be great! :) Thanks!
The DVD player was just an example (and I do plan to upgrade). I have other applications with the same problem. I am only 18 and on a low budget for now though.
Answer
Switch boxes and adapter cables won't help you. What you need is a converter. Switches are for selecting among various inputs (DVD player, game console, VCR, etc - or switch outputs the same way) to a TV with only 1 input of the correct type. Adapters are for connecting sources and display inputs that use the same type of signal but have different pin arrangements.
A converter has its own power supply and electronics inside to do signal type conversion (analog to digital, for example, or vice-versa). I would have told you that you could find one to convert composite signals like you have from your DVD player to component or even HDMI, but your signal would not be High Def. But I just found a unit for under $50 that claims to upscale, or up-convert to 1080p! I don't know how well it does this, as I haven't tried it, but I do have a DVD recorder/player that upscales regular DVDs to 1080p very nicely, so it might be worth a look. It's here:

It has composite, S-video and component ins (along with Red/White audio ins) and looks promising. It won't be "true" HD, but I like what I see from both my DVD upscaler and my Blu-ray player that does the same thing for my standard DVDs.
