This depends on a lot of factors.
What is the make and model of your laptop?
For the Video output:
Is your laptop capable of using a second screen?
What kind of secondary output does you laptop have? (S-Video, VGA, HDMI, etc.)
For the Audio output:
Does your laptop have Audio out jacks or just a Headphone Jack?
What kind of input jack does your PA have for Audio in?

These are things you need to know to determine what kind of cables you need and exactly where to hook them to the laptop, TV, and PA. There may be some additional equipment you will need for the video as well depending on your laptop's output.
