Now I know that many of you would like to connect your computer to your TV and stereo system.You may want to watch a movie or video on your TV instead of staying in a chair in front of your PC.You also may want to play your music with real surround sound speakers instead of tiny PC speakers.It is quite easy to set up and may require only a little expenses.

Requirments

• A Computer with an extra output from your video card
• A TV with some kind of AUX input.
• A Stereo with some kind of AUX input.

Connecting your Video

We are going to deal with video first because it is much more challenging than audio.The quality depends mostly on your actual television set.It may be difficult to see the icons and text appearing on the TV.Regardless whether your TV is old or new you still can watch videos and movies on it.

Find your connecion

First we must figure out what kind of inputs you have on your TV.Certain connections perform better than others.We will make the list starting with the best

Connections:

HDMI - High Definition Multimedia Interface

HDMI is the newest connection out there right now.Eventually we all will need one.A lot of new TVs and video cards are now offering this connection type.This give you the best quality signal video.HDMI also is capable of carrying audio.It has the same video quality as the DVI connection and is easy to install.

DVI - Digital Visual Interface

This connection is currently offered on many tvs and computers.

VGA/XGA – Video Graphics Array

This is the standard video output you have for your video card.However most TVs don`t have this input in them.You can see text clearly and movies look good.

S-Video – Separate Video

Many TVs and Video Card have the option of S-Video.Using this type of connection, you will have trouble reading the text.ovies and and games will be viewed fine.

Composite Video – RCA connector:

The oldest one and the one everyone is familiar with is the RCA connector.We have used this connection for aa while.This will have lower quality than S-Video but is still good for audio and video.Some video cards may have this.All TVs should have it.

If you don`t have a connection between the TV and the video card youcan buy a box that will convert your input into many diffferent kinds of outputs.However it might be cheaper for you to buy a video card with the output you need.If you have onboard video then you should buy another video card and simply add it on.

Setting up your video

• You should firt turn the TV on and ensure that it set to the display.
• Then connect the TV and video card together using any of these connections.
• If you plan to use HDMI, DVI and VGA, your computer will recognize your TV as a standard monitor,which will be easier to setup.
• Now you need to decide whether to clone your display or use secondary monitor (extended view).If you clone it you will see exactly what you see on your screen.To use extended view you must drag anything you want to see to the way right or secondary monitor.
• On a laptop you can press "fn" key with the the that has the monitor output logo on it.

Setting up your audio

Connecting sound to TV

• Unless you are using HDMI you are most likely to use RCA jack.In order to Connect to your computer`s 3.5mm plug you will need to buy a 3.5mm stereo plug to RCA pair cable.

Connecting to your surround sound

This will be the tricky part.

• You can use the digital option if our computer and Hi-fi which will have to be featured on both devices.This means you will use only one cable instead of three or four.
• Ther also might be other adapter to accomplish this

After that all is done and you enjoy your computer connected to your home theater.

This might have happened to you.Save all your important data onto a cd and then scratched it up.It happens people make mistakes but how can you those files back?Well the first thing you may want to do is clean it.That`s right by simply cleaning it with the same solution for cleaning the LCD monitor may do the trick.Try not to move in a circular motion.

If that fails go to the the store and pick up some brasso.You also will need cotton swabs.Brasso might be very irritating so if you want to do this outside or in the garage, please do so.

• Soak your cotton swab with Brasso
• Lightly rub the swab on scratched areas in a circular motion until it appears to "disappear"
• After that rinse it.
• And wash your hands

Now try to find the data again.If still dosen`t work then try it again.I have also heard that white toothpaste can be an alternative to brasso.
