Need help connecting my TV-Laptop-Reciever

[Rafael1]

Hey i want to connect my Laptop to my TV using HD and connect the TV to the Receiver. My Reciever has just RCA outs or Component.
What should I do?

What should I do?

Provide us with manufacturer and model numbers of each, the laptop, receiver, and TV. With that information, we can then determine how best to connect all three.

This is why we ask for manufacturer and model numbers.

You might be able to run an audio output from the TV to the receiver. Without knowing manufacturers and model numbers, we don't know.

Here's what I've been able to find:

Your Home Theater system only has Auxiliary (RCA L/R) and Optical S/PDIF audio inputs. (source)
Your TV, I wasn't able to find. Re-check the model number
Your laptop has both HDMI and VGA outputs.

Ideally, your set up would look like this:

Laptop --> HDMI Out --> HDTV HDMI input --> S/PDIF Optical output --> Receiver S/PDIF Optical Input.

However, this only speculates that your HDTV has an HDMI Input and an optical S/PDIF output. Otherwise:

Laptop --> HDMI Out --> HDTV HDMI Input --> 3.5mm analog output --> 3.5mm to RCA L/R audio RCA cable --> Receiver Auxiliary audio inputs.

However, this only speculates that your HDTV has an HDMI Input and can separate and convert the digital audio from the HDMI input to the analog 3.5mm output.

Lastly:

Laptop --> HDMI Output --> HDTV HDMI Input
or
Laptop --> VGA Output --> HDTV VGA Input
and
Laptop --> Headphone/Speakers Out --> 3.5mm to RCA L/R audio RCA cable --> Receiver Auxiliary audio inputs.

The second part (VGA) assumes your HDTV has a VGA input.

hi, this is the correct model of the TV -Panasonic VIERA TH-42AS610l
in that source it said that the receiver has an optical port but it does'nt.
Just componenet and rca.

thanks again, Rafael.

Ok. Looking at pg. 5 of 34 of your Home Theater Receiver manual, it appears you only have an auxiliary audio (RCA Red/White L/R audio input).

Looking at pg. 7 of 16 of your HDTV manual, it appears you have HDMI inputs as well as RCA Red/White L/R audio outputs.

I do not see anywhere that your HDTV has a VGA analog input. This means the only way to get video from your laptop to your PC is via an HDMI cable. While your HDTV *may* be able to convert the HDMI/digital audio to the RCA Red/White L/R audio outputs on your HDTV (unlikely), it would probably be easier to run the last option I provided:

Laptop --> HDMI Output --> HDTV HDMI Input
and
Laptop --> Headphone/Speakers Out --> 3.5mm to RCA L/R audio RCA cable --> Receiver Auxiliary audio inputs.

This set up *should* give you laptop video on your HDTV and laptop audio through your receiver.
