Generally, televisions only have HDMI inputs. If there is an HDMI output, it may be possible to connect it to the input of another television although HDMI outputs from televisions are frequently limited in their functionality. Check the manual of the television for confirmation of the capabilities.

How do hook up HDMI cable to PS3?
I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync. When it works right putting a disc into the PS3 will turn on the HDTV and also switch the HDTV over to that HDMI input rather than a cable box or similar item even if it was on the cable box when you last used the HDTV.
How do you display video on a philips tv using a HDMI to dvi cable that's connected to the pc via a dvi to vga adapter?
You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.
Who can help I used an HDMI cable to connect my laptop to my TV but a week later it stoped working please help?
Make sure cable is seated properly at both ends. Unplug and re-plug. If this doesn't work you may have a bad HDMI cable or the HDMI interface on your TV or computer stopped working. On the computer there may be a way to turn the HDMI port on or off. You have to eliminate all these possibilities. Replace the cord, plug the computer into another TV or drive your current TV from a different HDMI source using the same cable.

How do you get your Sony Vaio to display through your hdtv through an HDMI cable?
HDMI is the new standard interface used for high definition television and supports both standard and high definition signals. It is a fully digital interface and carries both video and audio signals on the same cable. To connect a computer to a monitor with an HDMI connector, the computer will need either and HDMI port or a DVI port. DVI is the digital display interface for computers. Fortunately, it is fully compatible with the HDMI interface so with a DVI to HDMI cable, the connection should be fairly simple. Although most televisions with and HDMI connector will work with a computer, it is worth checking to make sure the resolution of the computer output is compatible with the television itself. VGA, which is still the most common video interface for computers is not compatible with HDMI. VGA cannot therefore be connected to an HDMI connector unless a VGA - DVI or VGA - HDMI converter is used. Finally, although HDMI carries audio, DVI does not. If the computer uses a DVI connector, audio will still need to be connected using a separate cable.

HDMI is a connector standard designed fo rboth HD and SD video. It will carry both audio and video signals within the cable so it provides a single cable interface between equipment.

HDMI to DVI cables are available to connect computers to television displays. Therefore, any HDMI cable that has a DVI connector at one end or the other will not carry audio.

How do you connect surround sound to a TV?
There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. If you have the component video cable, then the end that attaches to the Xbox has an optical out port. Simply attach this to the optical in on your home theatre receiver with an optical cable. If you want to use audio via HDMI, in order to get surround sound you'll have to have an HDMI receiver capable of receiving audio. In this case run the Xbox via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver via HDMI to the TV. The HDMI will send both audio and video. If you have the official Xbox HDMI cable you can also connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV and use the optical out connector that it comes with instead.
