notebook connect to TV (s-video)

Hello, I have a problem. I connected my notebook MSI - EX600X with S-video out to TV through SCART (http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2005/...101/scart2.jpg). But I can´t see any contact with it.

In "change the appearance of your displays" in my Windows 7, in "Display:" I don´t have any possibility to connect notebook through S-video there, just VGA possibility. I don´t understand. I switched my TV on video mode, but nothing...

Thanks for some help....

Combination Fn+F5 doesn´t work. It just make my display brighter, i guess it will be some kind of Brightness. I forgot to write it to my first post....

Hi there
sorry if I'm being "obtuse" here but often the simplest solution is the correct one.

1) S-Video Out to SCART on TV -- is the SCART wired correctly.

I'd use a Composite (with s-video out) adapter with a switch on it -- pic enclosed so you can check input / output.

2) On the TV you might need to set the SCART input to S-VIDEO - usually there's a setup in the TV for AV1 / AV2 / AV3 settings - you can switch from "Component" to RGB etc etc. You need to check that the TV settings are OK.

3) S-Video OUT on a laptop is usually when playing Video (DVD) / other video multi-media. Sometimes Macrovision or other DRM crud inhibits TV output for copyright reasons.

4) to use the TV as an external / additional MONITOR then you need to have a VGA type connector (or maybe a DVI one) - usually the VGA connector is used for standard PC monitor connections.

enc pic of the SCART / s-video / composite adapter.

1) S-Video Out to SCART on TV is good.
2) on TV a tried AV modes...nothing
3) i can´t see anything on TV the less so some videos....just black screen, like i would not connect SCART there
4) and for what is some VGA connector? I have S-video connector and i´d like to choose S-video possibility as a "Display" - like here - http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...Selections.png
