[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 945074, member: 24160"] Open up the manual for your TV and you'll find the following picture on page 11. [IMG]http://img.skitch.com/20091117-qqj4tuh5efgq57k2m9ctugu8qu.jpg[/IMG] (I did not go check, I "think" you have a mini-display port on your MacBook. You need to verify that it is. If you must, search google images for mini-display port and mini-dvi. Compare to the one on your MacBook. I am "assuming" yours is mini-display port.) I would recommend the Video option 2. If you already have a HDMI cable the adapter deathcloud linked above is fine. If you don't have the adapter, then grab one of [B][URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024603"]these[/URL][/B] in the length you will need. Audio - Since the manual does not show a picture of the actual port, I am uncertain what cable that is. It looks to me like a standard RCA cable rather than a toslink (optical) cable. You will need to look at the TV and determine what type of port that is. If it is as I suspect from the picture, it may be a standard RCA or 3.5mm stereo plug. Once again, a google image search if you're not sure. Compare it to RCA, 3.5mm and optical input ports. If it is an optical port, the cable deathcloud has linked should be what you need. If you get a different one, you will need to make sure that one end of the cable has a mini-toslink (at the end connected to your MB) and the other a standard toslink connection. If it is RCA or 3.5mm, you will need a 3.5mm stereo plug on the end connecting to your MB. (If it turns out you have a mini-DVI on your MB, then you will need one of [B][URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041912&p_id=4852&seq=1&format=2"]these[/URL][/B] and a HDMI cable.)
