Thank you for all your help. I managesd to find a four pin S-Vid cable ( TV only has for pins) and the audio cable i needed in E-Max in Centrepoint. They were very helpful in there and new exactly what I needed. I have connected it all up and it works great Picture is great to. Now I can watch the movies and my hubby can watch the football on tv rather than the laptop. :)

Radio Shack is also there in City Centre, 3rd floor. Dont know exact location but I guess when you walk from Extreme Centre to the Theatres, you'll find it on the left side.

And Laptops do have S Video Output, but I dont think a PC will have S Video input unless you are a media professional who wants to so dome Video Editting.

Hope it helps !

Only DVD players and some video cards have S-Video outputs. I wonder how one can connect PC to a Laptop using a S-Video cable and that too for what purpose.

Well, as per buying S-Video cable it may be available in Radio shack. This shop is located in Sofitel building opposite Jumbo Electronics and LG showroom in city.

First of all, what do you mean by that you want to connect your S Video out from Laptop To PC ? Does PC allow you to INPUT S Video ?

Or what you mean is you want to run an additional Monitor ?

I have 2 spare S Video cables. I bought one from Virgin Records, villagio. One from HYATT PLAZA next to villagio and the one I'm using currently from Dubai Duty Free. :D

I use multiple monitors in my studio so I use S Video Out.

Not sure if thats what you want to do.

Did you ask in Carrefour? They are often not where you'd expect them to be. If not, I guess they must have sold out.

You could try E-max in Centerpoint, or radio shack (wherever that is), or expo place on 3rd floor of city center.
