DVD Questions
I didnt feel like buying a DVD player for college, so I just decided that I would use the cable that came with my pb 12" to hook it into the TV and just play all my DVD's from my mac. That worked out fine, now I have a few questions.
How can I turn off the screen on the mac, while still letting the DVD play on the TV?
The sound only comes out of the speakers on the mac, do I need another cable to hook up to the TV to use the TV's built in speakers instead of my macs?
Thanks in advance to any posts

I'm not sure but I don't think you can turn of the screen and just watch TV. You could try to close your powerbook for a few seconds during startup while it is connected to your TV. This works with VGA-monitors.
Close it with a USB mouse plugged in (and use the mouse as a wired remote control) ?
You need an 3.5mm (stereo) headphone jack to RCA plug cable. It should have a headphone jack on one end and red/white plugs on the other. Should be available (really) cheaply from an A/V store.
