I have a composite video out on my laptop so I just use a single Composite cable.
For audio, I just use a seperate 1/8" to RCA left/right cable ($6 at Walmart) out of my laptop headphone port into my Stereo reciever and play the audio through that. It is a bit of a hassle setting that thing up everytime we want to watch a movie, but it works. If the TV has audio inputs, you could try going into that with the 1/8" to RCA cable.
