Mini-DVI to Video Adapter MacBook Air Video Adapters Once you have your computer connected you'll want to set your computer to video mirroring mode via the Display Preference pane. The simplest way
to get sound from your computer to your flat screen tv is to use an 1/8'' stereo audio cable (You can tell it's stereo because of the two stripes around the connector). The ends, or connectors look
like what you would see on a pair of headphones. The 1/8" jack on your computer is usually marked by a headphones graphic. To get audio to your standard tv - you will probably need to use a 1/8"
audio jack to rca adapter... Here's an example 1/8" Mini Stereo to RCA MediaCentral Plex Boxee Miro Joost Hulu South Park Remote Buddy Mira SofaControl iRed Light Mac to XBox 360 - Connect360 Mac to
