Playing DVDs on the TV with my Macbook
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 / Laptops & Notebooks, Media Center
I want to hook my MacBook up to my TV so I can play a DVD. What part do I need to buy to do that?
It depends greatly on what TV you have, If it is a HDTV then you would want to use these two cables; Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and Digital Video Cable - 1 x DVI-D - 1 x HDMI - 6ft - Black.
For standard definition TV you would want to use Apple’s Mini-DVI to Video Adapter.
Regardless of your TV’s video connection you will need the 6ft Startech audio cable to transfer the Audio to the TV. You can always use the MacBook speakers, but those may not have high enough output for you.
