Does the laptop have a TV-Out connector of some description, or just the standard VGA port?

What inputs are on the TV?

 

[superspark]

VGA port on the laptop, on the tv there is a three pin connection (red,white,yellow).

The signal types are totally different, so you won't be able to do it using just a cable. You will need an active converter. Do a google for VGA to TV converter. Lots of info.

Will do.
Thanks for your help.

Do a check for a s-video connection on the laptop and docker. I would be very surpised if the sony does not have one of these.
