Summary: Caution: product does not work as implied
Review: I bought this cable to connect my laptop's s-video port to my TV. I was a bit confused about the whole "two coaxials" thing (my TV only has one RCA video port), but I figured they were just redundant. When I got the cable, I tried each RCA connector with my TV. One gave a black and white rendition of my computer screen, and the other gave me junk.As it turns out, this cable does not do any signal conversion, per se. All it does is take the two signals on the S-video cable (luminance (Y) and chrominance (C)) and puts these two signals onto 2 separate cables with RCA connectors. It DOES NOT convert the s-video signal to a composite signal, i.e., what you need to plug into the "video" port on your TV. This makes the cable WORTHLESS- no TV (at least to my knowledge) accepts the separate Y and C signals alone with RCA connectors. ... To make a long story short- this cable will not work to connect your laptop or other s-video out device to most TVs. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Summary: watch out
Review: This cable has a male s-video connector on one end and TWO (count em, 2!) RCA connectors on the other. This cable is not sufficient to convert an S-video signal into composite. So if you are looking for a way to plug your S-video only DVD player into your TV that lacks an svideo port but has a set of free RCA's, this WONT do the trick. The 2 rca's seperate the video signal into black and white and one that is blank. Im guessing it splits the signal's chromanance and luminance between the two rca's... but whatever - it's not gonna do the job I wanted it to do so if you're looking for an s-video to rca adapter look elswhere.
