Assuming you have DVI out on the laptop then you can use either a DVI->HDMI adaptor with a HDMI lead or just purchase a lead with DVI on one end and HDMI on the other.

Sorry i have not got a hdmi but i have a 15 pin connector to marry up with the 15 pin on the sanyo ,will this enable me to get a picture off my laptop?
the laptop is a new one a toshiba f20 qosmio.I WILL BE BUYING THE SANYO AT THE END OF THE MONTH (when i get paid) i have already purchased an oppo dvd player to go with it & was told the picture going by computer is the best .

You'll be able to watch most HD trailers you can download at the moment but you're not going to be able to watch copy protected material (which works through digital connections only).
