Watching iTunes TV episodes on Sony TV

[FinnLisa]

I'm trying to figure out how to watch iTunes TV episodes on my Sony LCD using Verizon FIOS. The TV is a Sony KDL-V40XBR1, with a PC IN (RGB) jack and a To PC IN (Audio) jack on the back. I got a VGA cable for the video connection, and a Belkin stereo link cable for the audio, though I'm not sure that's right. Assuming I can figure out which cables to use, though, what do I have to do once I've started playing the episode on my laptop? Will the episode automatically play on the TV, or do I have to do something else first?

Any advice would be appreciated!

In the kind of setup you describe, think of the TV as a big monitor.   Instead of using a regular monitor as your display, your TV will be the display.

Except that, when I connect the VGA cable and double-click the episode in iTunes, it plans on the laptop, not on the TV.

OK ... so the laptop is seeing the TV as a second monitor.   You need to move the video player onto the TV "monitor" first and then launch the program.
