Connect s-video to tv through vcr?

Question

well i got a s-vdieo cable very old tv and vcr and dvd combonation. i have a dell insiron 1525 laptop and a tv with 1 av output. i connect the laptop to vcr combo and then the vcr to tv through scart lead. the laptop blacks out then works again and i put it in tv/monitor mode basically i done it all on laptop but nothing comes up on the tv and the res changes. which output do i put tv in (i tried av 1 that all i have) and what do i do with the vcr/dvd combo?

Answer 1

u cant use a tube tv as a screen because the screen dimensions are wrong, and the resolution is way too low.  if you do have an lcd tv, then you have to right click on the desktop, select display settings, and select 2 screens. if you need anymore help just ask me.
