Most laptops have a function key that you have to press to enable output to an external monitor. You should find it on the top row of keys. Probably F8. Press the blue function key and this key totoggle between 3 modes. 1 - built in screen; 2 - both; 3 - just external screen. The function key might say "CRT/LCD" or show two monotor screens. Once you've got it displaying on both, play around with extending your desktop.

Right Click on the Desktop and pick PROPERTIES. Look for the monitor selection section. You might be able to set duplicate screens, or even side-by-side screens.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

You'll need to pick up the TV remote. Click MENU, and keep clicking MENU until you have the choice of ANTENNA or LINE. Choose LINE (it may say CABLE or something like that).

you usualy have to press one of the function keys and note your machine may only be able to generate one instance of the video frame
