It shouldn't be region locked then. However, you may have to change how you talk to the xbox, it may not be setup for the Indian accent. I've heard this being an issue before you can get around by speaking like an Aussie.

Forget about the TV first, how are you getting the signal into the TV? A cable/satellite box? An antenna?

You see the headphone jack on your phone? Plug that into your sound system. Might need a certain cable though. I have plugged many Galaxies into Onkyo receivers. I doubt the one you have is any different.

What are you trying to mirror between the two computers? What OS is your laptop?

What are you trying to accomplish by connecting your iPad to your laptop?
