Part I: Connect Kindle Fire HD to HDMI TV

Before start connecting Kindle Fire HD to HDMI TV, you need to do some preparation. You need to get a long Micro HDMI to Standard HDMI cable. The HDMI cable should have a standard HDMI connector at one end and a micro-HDMI connector at the other end. Note that if you want to control the content on your Kindle Fire HD while it is streaming to your TV, you'd better prepare a long cord. The HDMI cable is available on Amazon with the price $8.99. After you get the cable, let's get started.

1. Connect the HDMI cable between the HDMI port on your Kindle Fire HD and that on your TV
2. Switch your TV to HDMI input. To do this, please hit the "Input" button (sometimes it is called "Source" button) on the remote control. And you'll find HDMI input when you scroll the menu options. Choose it. After you select the HDMI input, the Kindle Fire HD interface will pop up on your TV screen. If it doesn't show, please examine the connection.
3. That's it. You can play the content on your Kindle Fire HD and meanwhile watch the content on the large TV screen. Enjoy!

Part II: Stream Kindle Fire HD Content to Non-HDMI TV

There is no HDMI port on an older analog TV. So, you can't directly connect Kindle Fire HD to an older analog TV. To solve the problem, you have to prepare not only a HDMI cable, but also a separate converter box which is $33.65 on Amazon. When you get both the HDMI cable and the box, please follow the instructions below:

1. Connect the HDMI connector on your HDMI cable to the HDMI port of the converter box, and then connect the Micro HDMI connector to the HDMI port of your Kindle Fire HD.
2. Connect the converter box with your TV set using a component cord. Note that the color-coded plugs should be matched.
3. Switch your TV to the proper input. The input varies from TV set to TV set. Anyway, you should choose a TV input that allows you to watch the Kindle Fire HD movies. Once you switch to the proper input, you'll find the Kindle Fire HD content will appear on the TV screen. If not, please check the connection and the input you choose.
4. Done! You are able to stream the video from Kindle Fire HD to TV and enjoy them on the large TV screen.

You might have problem importing your favorite movies into your Kindle Fire HD before you connect the Kindle Fire HD to TV to better enjoy your favorite movies. It is because the video format you are trying to import is not supported by the tablet that you fail to import it into Kindle Fire HD. Kindle Fire HD supports video formats including MP4, M4V, MKV, and 3GP. So, if you want to import FLV, AVI, WMV, MTS, AVCHD, XAVC, MXF, etc videos into Kindle Fire HD and stream those videos to TV, you need to convert the video files into a format that the tablet supports first. For example, you need to convert AVI to Kindle Fire HD MP4 before importing the original AVI files into the tablet.
