i know it sounds daft but have you tried switching you tv to the AV channel?

[madxbri]

yes done that 🙂 and maked sure it was with my camcorder so not that how do you set the TV as the primary display?

You should only need to connect the yellow video-out on the PC to the video-in socket on the TV if you don't need sound through the TV. The instructions on how to activate the video output should be in the manual.

What model is your PC? The instructions for activating the video output vary from model to model and some PCs only have a video input (Like the PCV-V1).
