im trying right now to connect my 8790 to a normal tv. in the manual it says to connect it to the tv's s-video cable, but my tv is old skool and doesn't have an s-video port, is there anyway to connect them, the s-video dongle they give you has s-video and then HDTV ports, but nothing for RCA it looks like, plz help

Radio Shack does not sell that; however, the link provided by Amir (above your posting) has that item as well - it's just a bit expensive.

I had to order a special s-video to RCA adaptor from Sager ($20!!!) and then on top of that buy an s-video cable and an rca cable. So the only way I could get it to work was:

8890 > s-video cable > Sagers converter > rca cable > tv

In the end it was ok because now I have a normal s-video cable in case I use my laptop with other tvs that have s-video in. Granted it could've been a dodgy cable I got, but I don't think so because Sager tech support said the 9600 pro needed this converter. Perhaps it's just the 9600...

i figured it out i dont know if this is the legit way
but if you just plug a male to male rca cable into the blue part of the HDTV dongle and connect it to the video in on the aux. port of the tv it works great
youll probably want to hook you laptop up to a high quality set o speaks tho, cuz you wont be able to use the tv's
