If your search comes up dry, you??™ll need to beg, borrow, or buy a cable. Any electronics
retailer worth patronizing??”online or bricks-and-mortar??”should be able to
help you here.
Another means of connecting your PC to your TV is to use a media extender, a TV set-top box
to which your PC transmits the video signal wirelessly. At this writing, Microsoft and hardware
partners including Linksys, D-Link, and Niveus Media have just announced media extenders that
work with Windows Media Center in Windows Vista, so these devices should be available by the
time you read this.
Step 3: Connect Your PC to Your TV or Projector
With the cable in hand, you??™re ready to connect your PC to the TV or projector. How
exactly you proceed depends on what kind of PC and what kind of TV or projector
you have, but in general, you need to follow these steps:
If the PC is running, shut down Windows, and then turn the PC off.
Make sure the TV or projector is powered off as well.
Connect a cable of the appropriate type to the port you??™re using on the PC
and to the input on the TV or projector.
Turn on the TV or projector. If necessary, switch the TV??™s or projector??™s input
to receive the signal from the cable you??™re using. For example:
On a TV, you may need to choose a different AV input instead of the
usual one.
On a projector, you may need to press a button to cycle among the possible
input sources until it finds the signal from the PC.
