    In your picture, the socket at the top, 2nd from the left looks like VGA, so you just need a VGA-VGA lead from the computer to the TV. The round socket directly below it is audio, so if you want to have the PC sound playing through the TV, just connect an audio cable from the speaker/headphone socket on the PC to that socket.

    Just to double check, what are those sockets labelled as on the TV? Can't read it on your photo
    Hiya thanks

    labels are as follows .......Rs-232c in RGB in RGB (pc) audio rgb/dvi
    HDM1/DVI in 1 (dvi) 2 , 3
    audio right/left component in Digita audio out

    and a wee square thing with a green cover which says optical

    I'd say 3.5mm stereo to 2 RCA is what you are most likely after http://www.svideo.com/audioadapter6.html

  • Looking at the pic of your TV I'd say a 3.5mm stereo at both ends is what you need. It looks like it plugs in right next to the VGA cable.
