S-Video to TV
Hi all experts,
I have HP pavilion dv1000 series notebook, it has S-Video out (7-Pin), i want to connect it with my TV.
i have connected the SV cable then restarted my notebook, when on display settings, i can see teh second monitor, when i right click on it, and select attach, also select extend desktop monitor option, then aply, nothing happens.
I have tried to remove the second monitor and tried to reinstall it. but same, no luck.
I have one more question relating to s-video:
Does S-video out supports audio out also?
As there are some cables in the market with single svideo 7 pin to 3 pins out (Yellow/White/Red); by my knowledge:
Yellow--Video.
White & Red -- Audio.
First i brought this type of cable, which it worked for me in showing the extended monitor on my TV, but without sound;
So i replayed with the normal cable which is single SV to TV (yellow only), and extra audio out cables (single headphone jack to White & Red).
So please guide me where am i missing in configurations.
Thanks.

S-Video is just video. You will need separate audio cables for the video.
I downloaded your notebook's manual, and it indicates your notebook does not support extended desktop. You can switch between your notebook display and the s-video output with Fn-F4.

Garycase,
I have mentioned that it worked in the extended desktop with my TV. The cable i used was S-Video Pro with 3 pins out(Y/R/W).
So i am sure it work in extended desktop monitor.

I believe there is also a away to make it so that only the TV is being used as the viewable screen, but i prefer to just set my laptop to "not do anything" when i close the lid and connect an external keyboard and mouse.
this way if any issues occur i can just open up the laptop and do any configuration changes. (not to mention that unless you have an HD TV, it's gonna be a bit fuzzy for small text.)

Thanks Magus,
But it seem my s-video on my laptop is located on the right hand side next to the usb port on the far end.
An as you have mentioned the 3rd tap on the top row, it seems it missing with me.
i have intel 915GM/GMS 910GML express chipset family adapter.

ooooh....i see, you have a different production version that the one that i currently have.
(mine is running with an AMD-64 processor and a Radeon 200M.)
In honestly it's not the 3rd from the left, it's actually the last one on the bottom row when the advanced options first open. I believe it'll say "Display", then again this may be proprietary with ATI cards and drivers only.
I'll have to see if i can turn up anything else for you.

AH HA!
What you will need to do is set up your TV as the "Intel Dual Display Clone"
Please see the article attached to this link. It apparently walks you through the process
(albet a little confusingly).
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel915g/sb/CS-013595.htm
Basically what you'll need to do is set up the TV through S-video (try using a full S-video to S-video cable) as your secondary monitor.
Once you have done this, uncheck the option "Same display configuration driven on both displays". (the reasoning behind this? the TV will NOT have the same resolution or refresh rate as the Laptop monitor).
I believe the next option is to right-click on the desktop and select "graphical options" then "Intel Dual Display clone".
You'll have to wing it from there since i'm not intimately familiar with the rest of the process.

Howerver here r my tips. Hope this'll resolve the problem
A television set or other video device can be connected to the notebook to be used as a display. The notebook’s built-in display automatically turns off when using a TV set as a monitor.
Connecting a TV set
If the notebook includes an S-video port, connect a TV set using a standard S-video cable, or an HP F1459A composite-video adapter with a standard RCA-type video cable.
Connect a video cable from the TV set to the notebook’s S-video port (colored yellow). (The notebook does not need to be turned off to do this.)
Connect the TV set to a power source and turn it on.
NOTE: The S-video port provides video output only. For audio output, use the audio line-out or headphone jack.
Activating the TV display
Restart the notebook: click Start, Turn Off Computer, then Restart.
-OR-
Click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, then Display. Click Advanced on the Settings tab, then activate the TV output on the S3Display tab.
Playing DVD movies on the TV
Click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, Display. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced and make the TV a “primary” display.
Optional: Connect an audio cable from the notebook’s
--------------------------
ISSUE:
A television is connected to the computer, but the image is not visible on the television screen, or the TV option under Display Properties cannot be selected because it is grayed out.
NOTE: Certain NVidia video cards, like the GeForce MX 400, will not display to the monitor once a successful video connection is established in Windows XP.
SOLUTION:
Check the following:
TV out setting is set to Auto or NTSC in the BIOS.
The television set is set to the wrong video source (Video1, Video2).
When connecting to the TV, only select one input device per input selection. Video1 cannot have both a composite video connection and an S-Video connection. The connection must be set to one or the other. For example:
Composite video connection: Video 1
S-video connection: Video 2
TV: Appropriate input choice
Turn the TV on and connect the cables before turning on the computer.
For ATI video cards, enable TV from the display properties and set the display resolution to 800 x 600 or less.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
