I realise that this type of query has been asked several times before but I am not clear as to how to set this up.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400, tv is Philips LCD 32PF5321 and surround system is Philips DVD Home Theatre System HTS6510.
I am trying to view films stored on my laptop via the tv & used the surround sound system.
On the back of my tv, I have a HDMI 1 and a HDMI 2 connection, also there is a DVI (AUDIO IN) option for Left (white) and Right (Red).
On my back of my laptop there is a blue coloured connection & I think I need to buy a HDMI connection to connect from this blue coloured connection on my laptop to the HDMI 1 connection on my tv which will allow the data to pass from my laptop to my tv?
At the back of the surround system there is a HDMI OUT connection & a white AUDIO IN connection & a red AUX IN connection.
Not sure how I can set it up so that the surround sound is used. Do I need to connect the audio connection on my laptop (circular connection with a microphone symbol) to the AUDIO IN connection on my surround system?
All the above is guesswork so would be grateful for any advice on this.
