Output cable for portable DVD player

[Kirk M]

I have a Sylvania portable DVD player. The instructions mention a cable so that the player can be connected to the composite input of a TV. The plug needs to have 4 connection points, and fit a miniature sized jack. The connections are common (most likely the shield), composite video, right, and left audio.

I have checked Sylvania's website, and several other sites, but cannot findone. Any suggestions of where I might find something like this?

Thanks,

KM

Is it a 3.5mm jack with 4 segments?

I have cables of this sort for both a Sony pocket LCD TV and a
Polaroid-branded DVD player. I believe this sort of cable is more or less
standardized. That worst that can happen is that you'll have to experiment to
figure out what-goes-where. No big deal.

Here's one. I'm sure you'll be able to find others -- with a little effort and
common sense.

3.5mm? Check the signals order with the following

Then look on eBay for a cable compatible with what's mentioned. If it's
the first, then a 3.5mm cable for Archos, Gigabeat, Creative Zen Vision
Series, Cown iAudio, Apple iBook will do.

I'm surprised pin 2 is the ground on most of these, as you'd expect that the
shield would be easier to connect to pin 1.
