How to Hook a Laptop Up to an Olevia HDTV Through Firewire
- 1). Check to make sure you have a FireWire port on the laptop. FireWire ports are often located near USB ports. A FireWire port is similar in size to a USB port but is noted with a "Y" icon.
- 2). Connect the FireWire cable to the FireWire port of the laptop. Insert the cable into the FireWire port. Firmly push the cable all the way into the port until the cable's metal connector is completely inserted.
- 3). Plug the other end of the FireWire cable into the FireWire port on the Olevia HDTV. Make sure the cable is securely inserted into the television. The FireWire port is typically located on the side of the Olevia HDTV next to additional HDMI ports.
- 4). Turn on the Olevia TV. Press the "Input" button on your remote control to bring up a list of all the inputs on the screen. Select "FireWire." Everything that appears on your laptop should appear on the TV screen.
