If your tv has a DVI input then you can get a DVI cable and connect your computer to your tv.

Also, you can buy a Component Video adapter for macbooks that allows them to connect.

However on new Mac's they run a MiniDisplay Port instead of Mini DVI so you'll need a MiniDisplay Port adapter to convert the signal to HDMI or DVI.

If the TV supports DVI inputs then simply get a miniDVI-to-DVI cable and connect the macbook (miniDVI) to the TV (DVI).

Then select on the TV the related input number for DVI (usually can be found on the back of the TV, next to the physical input there should be the input # or follow TV's manual).

If the TV doesn't support DVI still get a miniDVI-to-VGA cable, connect and then select the related input for the VGA input.

If you already have a miniDVI-to-whatever cable you might just need an adapter.

How do you connect an apple MacBook Pro to a non- HD sony tv?

Yes, simply purchase the suitable video adaptors for your MacBook Pro and television. If you have a MacBook Pro from 2009 or later, you'll need a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor. This can be purchased from the Apple Store and Authorised Resellers. You will also need a VGA cable to connect the adaptor to your television. If your television uses DVI instead of VGA, you'll need a VGA to DVI adaptor.

A few older TVs did have a Firewire port but a recent HD TV will probably have an HDMI port which you could connect to a MacBook Pro via its mini display port. You will probably need to chain a couple of cables together (See links below) but it will depend on the connections available on the TV.

Which cords are required to connect a mac to a HDTV?

Depends on the Mac. More information is needed. If newer unibody macbook you can use the "mini-display port" to either VGA or DVI adaptor. you will then probably need a cable that will connect those to the TV. In the case of the DVI which will give you better resolution you will probably want the DVI to HDMI adapter. That is what I use.
