hook up a macbook to an old tube
1. What Mac do you have? Personally, I prefer to have the year, model and processor speed. Example: 2008 iMac 2.8, 2006 Mac Mini 2.0, or 2009 MBP 2.6.
I have a 2006 macbook 2.0
2. What TV do you have? This means make and model #. A web link to your owners manual would be very helpful.
I have a Hitachi 50UX52B. Here's the manual:
Hitachi 50UX52B User's Guide
Providing the ports you have on the TV will only allow for a "best guess", it would not allow us to provide a "definitive and specific" recommendation.
(If you just can't figure out what model you have, you may provide the name of every input port on the back of the TV and we can make a best guess. You should provide the name as they are labeled on the set or post a pic where those labels show up good enough to be read.)
3. Where do you want the sound? On the TV, a stereo, a 5.1 A/V receiver? If you want it someplace other than the TV, you'll need to provide the make and model of that piece of equipment also.
I'd like to send the audio to the TV as well, which i figure I can do with the headphone jack and a Y composite to 3.5mm cable.
