    I have previously connected computers to a TV using s-video for the video signal and line out/RCA plugs for the audio. (In addition to scart sockets for set top boxes and DVD players, a computer is usually connected to an analogue TV with a 4-pin s-video socket for video only with RCA sockets for stereo audio and usually composite video as an alternative to s-video.)

    I have recently obtained an LX.AG50J.169 model Aspire 5633wlmi which has an nVidia Geforce Go 7300 graphics card. The output socket is described as:
    s-Video/TV-out (NTSC/PAL)
    The s-video cables I have are 4-pin whereas the socket is 7-pin. It is possible that the 4-pin will go into a 7-pin socket, but it doesn't slip in and because the pins are so very fragile, I do not want to use force. The internet is not very informative about 7-pin s-video sockets.
    Does anyone know what the other 3 pins are used for on the 5633?
    Is there a specific 7-pin plug and cable to connect this socket to a standard TV?
