lol get an s-video lead and plug it into the laptop and then into the s-video on the tv.

if the tv does not have an s-video get a scart plug with a s-video in slot on it.

Assuming the scart supports it, otherwise get an s-video to composite converter.

S-video lead into that, phono from that into a scart adapter and take sound into that too

i wouldnt use the s-video unless you get a very good gold plated converter...As Munchie already stated, image will be blurry

and this converter http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=28733&criteria=s-video%20composite&doy=15m5 is just shoot...i tried it and returned it it the first minute i used it...LOL

SVHS looks blurry but if you want to watch films on your TV from your Laptop then its fine. Must be something to do with the resolution but I used to watch filsm on my TV and it was just like watching a DVD.

Then what i said would work fine! Would be worth checking to see if any of your scarts support s-video? What tv do you have?
