I just received my TV-out cable today and I'm quite disappointed in it. You see, the cable has a male S-video connector (video) and two female RCA connectors (audio). This configuration makes absolutely no sense.
My TV has all female connectors: female S-video and female RCA connectors. Also, all of my cables have male connections on both ends. That means that the TV-out connector can connect the video directly to the TV but not the audio without an audio cable between it and the TV. I can't use an S-video cable between the TV-out cable and the TV without a gender changer or I need to buy the more expensive "extension" style specialty cables with one female and one male.
Frustrating. The TV-out cable should have had all female connectors so that standard, and cheap, S-video and audio cables could be used between it and the TV. Having mixed gender connectors just makes things tedious and annoying.
