✍ Which cable can I use to connect my VAIO equipped with an Audio/Video port to a
TV? You need to use an AV cable which has a minijack connector on one end and 3 RCA
(also called cinch) connectors on the other end. For example, the Sony VMC-20FR which
is available via direct sales and various retailers. Please note that not all TVs have RCA in.
If your TV does not have RCA in, you need an RCA to Scart converter (provided of course
that your TV has a Scart in). If your VAIO has an S-video port, you can use this port as an
alternative means of connection. Please have a look at the Knowledge Bases on the
