Help Toshiba Satellite XP DVD to a TV problem

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi

I was wondering if any of you guys could help me with my wee problem.
I can't get my laptop to play DVDs on a TV.

System: Toshiba Satellite 1150 (Spanish version)
TV and Svideo cables

All wired up, DVD plays fine on computer, AV channel on video, switch
tried on both "IN and OUT" on the Svideo connector, FnF5 doesn't let
me select TV, or even TV and Computer.

Am I doing something wrong? Can you see through my dimwittery....

I-d really help any help you can give. Cheers

Huw
