hi...

first time posting in this sub forum....

i dont know if anyone already asked about this problem... but even there is I really dont know what to search for.... so here goes...

i have a 29" CRT TV which has the usual RED + WHITE + YELLOW input.... and I have 1 desktop with the GC has HDMI port, DVI, VGA port.... and in my laptop I even have SVideo output and the usual VGA port.... I've been looking for solutions for several years.... (I dont want to use MODEO or any other RMVB/DIVX players)... if possible I want my current desktop/laptop to be my media center unit.... I searched on oversea sites... they are selling all kind of cables/adapters/converters.... but I cannot find it here in Malaysia... is there a way to do this??? maybe HDMI to RED + WHITE + YELLOW adapters anyone???

thanks...

svideo to svideo..
or svideo to red white yellow..

that the cable u need + little bit setting on the laptop

Well...its not as easy as saying "I want to use my computer as a Media Player"...thats the first mistake that most ppl make. 1080p stuff takes a lot of effort for the computer to play...you will be wasting your money to upgrade you present computer........when actually what you really need is a purposely built HTPC in order to play high bitrate Video and Audio stuff...and most end up.....buying a standalone Media Player....cos' with the falling prices of HDTV....very soon, you will be poised to get one...and then you have to upgrade everything again.

You need to upgrade TV first

You need S-video to composite (red, yellow, white) adapter? I am letting go, from DELL accessories. PM me if interested.

For connecting pc to crt tv, there is a possibility to do that.
But if i'm not mistaken, you have to use a converter from VGA to RCA.
Most CRT tv's don't have a S-Video input.
So it's quite difficult to connect from Svideo to RCA.
Or you can buy a graphic card that have a video output (yellow colour).
That should be working fine.

Chk for component input for ur CRT tv.

I remembered my previous toshiba 29" CRT tv bought in 1997 already have component input, then u can use VGA to component cable.
