Netflix --Connecting PC to TV

Posted by Bob Brines on October 30, 2009 at 15:07:42:
I need a tutorial on how to connect my PC to the HT receiver to do Netflix downloads.

Problem: My laptop has a 7-pin S-video and a mini VGA port. I presume that audio will come off the headphone jack. Because my old CRT TV doesn't have an S-video port, I will need to convert to composite. I have a 4-pin S-video to composite gender changer.

Does a 7-pin to 4-pin converter exist? Where? Does this solve the problem?

Second thought: How will I configure the computer?

TIA for helping the uniformed.

Bob
