[QUOTE="imnxcguy, post: 1450049, member: 273929"] [b]Connect MBP Retina to OLD TV[/b] Hi all, This thread is awesome, except that my feeble uneducated-in-electronics brain can't sift through ALL the various permutations of what I actually need, so I figured I'd throw in the towel and ask specifically. My apologies if this has been asked and answered a hundred times. I have: A brand new, Macbook Pro Retina 15" (it only has an HDMI port besides the Thunderbolt) An [B]OLD[/B] (non-HD) [B]TV[/B] with only Yellow/Red/White RCA inputs I want to be able to watch a movie on my TV instead of my MBP. I also have a Mini-Display Port/Thunderbold-to-VGA adapter I bought from Monoprice (to be able to run a projector). (I also have some various RCA cables, like a mini-RCA to 2-prong standard, etc.) I'm confused as to whether I need a converter, which cables, can I get sound, etc. etc.? Specifics for this, please? Thanks, Mark [/QUOTE]
