What macbook, there are 3 different connection types.

 

[DB.]

It says Mac OS X, Version 10.6.3.

Bought it last September.

 

[Munson]

He means what hardware. You've quoted the OS version.

You need a mini display port to HDMI adapter from ebay (£6)

A HDMI lead (£1)

You'll also need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm for the sound. (£1)

Or...

LOL, in that case you need a Mini DVI to DVI adaptor.

Then a DVI to HDMI cable.

 

[DB.]

Thanks for the help mate. Much appreciated!
