Sounds like it. Most TV have just SCARTs at the back and a proper S Video connection under the front flap or sometimes stuck on the side.

You can get an S Video connector to SCART adapter.

Best connection generally is RGB SCART - totally different console cables than for S Video.

If you cannot get hold of an official sony RGB SCART then I highly recommend the IXOS cables.

Most TVs have at least one RGB SCART input - worth checking you definitely have one before buying the cables.

Best check the tv manuals to see which ports supports what format. It's possible to have three ports and only one of them support RGB for instance.

dont forget that s-video is a signal type (like the 2 ntsc types and the pal type) as well.
