The VGA end of the cable connects to your laptop's VGA output. The Red, Blue, and Green connectors connect to the component inputs on your HDTV.

You may need to go into desktop properties to enable the secondary (HDTV) output. Make sure, before doing so, that your laptop's screen resolution is equal to or less than your HDTV's resolution.
