Q: How to connect my MacBook Pro to my TV

Hi L,

It depends on which MBP you have. It could need a DVI to HDMI adapter plus 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or Toslink/optical for audio. Or a Mini Displayport to HDMI plus the audio setup I just described. Or, if it's a newer model, the proper MDP to HDMI adapter will carry audio too.

Will need a model number which can be obtained from System Profiler>Hardware Overview>Model Identifier.

Ciao.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

My MBP is MAC OS X 10.7.4.

Is that enough for you?

That's the software/OS, and actually, I need the hardware version, known as the model identifier, which you can find in System Profiler. Also, if you read the link I posted in my first post, it will help and explain that MBP models produced (not just purchased) after April 2010 use the Mini Displayport, that includes audio, and it also lists two adapters you could use.

That should do the trick for you. You're welcome.
