How to Connect My Laptop to My AV
- 1). Connect the S-video cable from the socket on the edge of your laptop to an input socket on the rear of the AV receiver. Make a note of which S-video connection you use on the receiver, such as "Video 3."
- 2). Insert the small plug on the stereo Y-adapter into the laptop's headphone jack.
- 3). Connect the two plugs on the end of an audio cable to the pair of jacks on the Y-adapter.
- 4). Insert the plugs on the other end into the audio inputs that go with the S-video jack on your receiver used in Step 1. Video and audio inputs are paired on AV equipment so the source component (a laptop in this example) sends signals to the same inputs on the receiver.
- 5). Turn on the receiver and set the source to "Video 3" or the name of the labeled jacks used to connect the laptop.
