Best Answer: Heinz is correct, plasma is prone to burn in. On the audio side, go to Radio Shack and get a mini-plug to RCA converter. Plug it into your laptop's audio out, connect a pair of RCA cables to it and connect them to the receiver's input. - jambalaya

If you have a S-video output on your laptop you could hook that to the S-video input on your TV. However be aware, that if you leave any unmoving picture on your plasma TV too long you will burn the image in permanently... Because of that plasma TVs do NOT make good computer monitors. Wiith a DLP set you could have got away with that, even with most LCDs... - Heinz M
