All you need is one of those camcorder cables with the 3.5mm jack and the 3 phonos at the other end for the TV.

You use the 3.5mm jack in the VAIO (usually on the back of the machine)

should be and u can check by looking to see if u hav a jack socket which is coloured yellow. the 3.5 jack cable should have around 3 rings around the jack.

hallo,
i was thinking to create a new thread for my question, but maybe it´s ok to put my question in here either.

i have an PCG-Z1XMP and want to find a solution to connect my tv with my vaio. i checked the manual and checked the online support for my z1, but nowhere is the speach about the possibility to connect to a tv; direct with some kind of cable or an adapter.
i found some tv-adapers (deep hidden) in some sony-product-online-pages, but again no info about to use with any vaio-modell.

so, my z1 has an audio-out (red). would this 3.5 jack cable work with this?
are there any other ways (adapters or something else) to connect with a tv? (no, my tv has not an vga-in)

EDIT:
guess i´m not the only one with this problem:
another z1-user with that kind of question

and, jesus. i made my way through the hole treads. (thank god the search-funktion is so great) and yes, there are many threads about tv-connection, but as long i understand this jack cable is just for some "yellow" plug-ins. is that right?
