I connected my VAIO to the TV with great success, I could use the TV as a monitor for my VAIO. <BR />I was really happy, until it came time for me to try and watch my video-camera movies and DVDs which aren't originals so I watch them on my laptop. Whenever I try to play video files, a blank screen is shown, although the functions for windows media player are there, and when mp3 files are played, the display screen with swirling things and that show up.<BR />Also, my VAIO Flash player desktop background works, and video files is the only thing.<BR /><BR />Please help me!!!<BR /><BR />BTW, my laptop does not have a TV port, only speakers, mic, usb and monitor serial port. that's it.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 27 Feb 2005 01:33:30 GMT amarjethi 2005-02-27T01:33:30Z PC to TV https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/pc-to-tv/m-p/108051#M114704 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi I was wondering if anybody could help me...<BR /><BR />I have a PCG-Z1RMP notebook, and I recently got a DMTECH tv with PC connection by one of those serial port wires.
