Hooking your Mac Mini up to your HDTV will give you the benefit of having an Apple TV without having to buy one. Once you have it set up, you should be able to watch movies and television shows that you download through iTunes. Additionally you can surf on your big screen.
Instructions
1. Move your Mac Mini close to your television set. Make sure to connect to the Internet, bring in a monitor that you can hook up to your Mac Mini to trouble shoot any issues.
2. Determine what type of cable you need to hook the Mac Mini up to your television set. First you need to learn the type of inputs that you need for your television set and then find out what type you need to connect to a DVI cable.
3. Purchase the correct adapter cable for the connection. Try your local Radio Shack.
4. Connect the DVI cable that your Mac Mini comes with to your Mac Mini, then connect the adapter cable to the DVI cable. The adapter cable should then connect to the television set.
5. Adjust the resolution settings inside the Mac Mini, so that you can correctly see your picture. Go to the "Displays" system menu and try different resolutions until you find the best one for your computer.
