Hi,
I am trying to connect my Acer Aspire 5600 laptop to my Sony Bravia (HDMI) TV. I bought a VGA cable to connect the two (because my laptop is not HDMI). Once i have plugged in the VGA cable in both extremeties and press FN + F5 (key to transfer the image from LT to TV), shouldn't this allow me to watch what I see on my LT on my TV? At this stage this is not happening, therefore I wonder if anyone is able to help?

The Bravia needs the video input to be changed to PC when you connect a computer to the Bravia. You still need to press FN + F5 to divert the laptop video data to the video port on the laptop for the TV.

Most laptops have a combination of buttons you have to press on the keyboard to get it to output on the monitor output. Try pressing the FUNCTION KEY or FUNC/FN key usually found in the bottom left hand side of the keyboard. Keep that button held down while press one of the number keys.
No I'm afraid not. It only supports VGA out. If your TV supports a PC input then a male to male VGA cable will do. VGA does not support audio so you will also need an audio lead to connect to the TV too.
If there isn't no HDMI output from the PC, then you cannot use the HDMI option on your TV, however if your TV does have a VGA input option, the input adapter that look like that on your laptop, then all you need to do is buy a VGA cable from wal-mart or bestbuy. Walmart is cheaper though, however there is also option of buying a VGA- to HDMI cable on ebay if you want to go that option and wait couple of days for your item to arrive.
After you connected the HDMI Cable to the TV...Did you press the FN + F4 Key on the keyboard... The first screen you will see is the notebook screen is blank and the TV has got the desktop on top of it...The second time you press the FN + F4 then you will see thedesktop on the notebook and as well as the TV...The third time you press the FN+F4 you will see the desktop on the Notebook...
