Connect cable to N900, connect cable to screen, switch input to the AV input you connected the cable to, operate N900 as you normally would (screen has to be on)

It's not that hard.

1. Connect cable to N900
2. Connect AV leads (Red, White, Yellow) to the TV's AV input
3. Select the correct channel on your TV for the AV input
4. Enjoy using N900 on your TV

(If it doesnt work, on your N900, goto settings, and under the general tab, select TV out, and change the output to PAL or NTSC depending on which one wasn't working)

It would help because on older TV's NTSC runs at a 60hz refresh rate, and PAL runs at a 50hz refresh rate, so if the video being outputed is to run on an NTSC TV the picture wouldnt display on a PAL TV..... hope that makes sense

you know I always think that when people ask for a "Thanks!" click with the classical "there's a button for that" come off a little douchey, but it's so incredibly frustrating, so I'm gonna ask for them. If a post helped you, please click the "thanks" button. Like I have done in the above posts.

PS. I'm referring to the posts from MohammadAG and James174
