(available at an electronics supply store).

Video cable with S-video connectors at each end.
Tw o audio cables with RCA-type connectors (plugs) at each end. The
cables can be separate, or joined like the one in the illustration.
m If your VCR has an RCA Video In port, you’ll need the following cables:
One video and two audio cables with RCA-type connectors (plugs) at each
end. The cables can be separate, or joined like the one in the illustration.
5Attach one end of the video cable to the Video In port on the VCR.
Follow the directions that came with the VCR.
6Plug the other end of the video cable into either the S-video output port ( Æ ) or the yellow
composite video output port ( Â ) on the Macintosh.
If the S-video connector doesn’t slide easily into the port, check the pin
alignment and try again. Don’t use force, which could damage the computer
or cable.
