I think what you want is a s-video cable. i may be wrong, but when i want to watch a DVD on my TV, i need to switch it to S-video. I think my DVD player and my TV are connected by S-video. Dont go buy anything yet, i'd wait for someone else to answer.

Well, if you know what you need but aren't too sure about the credibility of the online-store, why don't you just go downtown, pay cash in the local discount store and if it's faulty you won't have any problems exchanging it.
That's what I do with small items like cables etc.. 😉

Depends on your circumstances of course and whether you can get to the store easily enough.

The most common way to connect a DVD to TV is the Scart cable. 😉
