How do i view my pc screen on my tv via s-video on win 7

Hi all

I need help with connecting my tv to my graphics card via S-Video
every time i set the output on s-video it says i cant save these settings , i dont know why but it wont show anything on my TV , also i cant get it to work with Catalyst control center from AMD

My graphics card is ; ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series
and my TV is a philips ; 32PFL5403D/12 Philips LCD TV 32PFL5403D 32" integrated digital with Pixel Plus HD - Philips Support

Hi there
On your TV you need to select the input mode I would imagine -- otherwise how does the TV know when it's meant to be showing TV, HDMI, VGA mode or whatever.

Usually you can select on the TV input mode such as AV1 / AUX 1 or whatever -- there must be an S-Video Input mode as well.

The APPLICATION you are running on the computer also needs to be aware that you want to output it via S-VIDEO slot on your video card.

I don't think you can use s-Video mode for standard Computer monitor output -- you'll need a normal VGA monitor cable, or an HDMI connection (or a DVI one).

It Should work for outputting DVD's / TV tuner output etc.

Hi there

You've answered your own question - If the TV can't accept the Source then it's no point supplying it.

Convert your s-VHS to standard Audio / Video or plug the output into one of those SCART adapters that have an S-VHS input plus Video / audio input and then plug this scart into your TV.
