A/V Cable needed

I need a cable I've never seen before. It has 3 RCA (Red, White, Yellow) plugs at one end and a mini plug at the other end. I want to use a small monitor to manage the setup of my Denon 2910 universal player which I use only for audio. This is the only type of connection available on this particular monitor. Anyone know what I'm asking for and willing to point me in the right direction for purchase? Thanks.

It's probably like this one that's used to connect video iPods. It has RCA's on one end for composite video and right and left audio. The other end is the same size as a mini-stereo plug but has three connector bands plus ground rather than the two plus ground of a stereo mini plug. An identical cable comes with the Kensington multimedia dock for iPods and there are probably other sources.

Thanks guys. I've ordered one that looks like it will do the trick. I still don't know if there is a standard wiritng topology so that L/R and Video RCAs match the three hotpoints on the mini-plug regardless of manufacturer.

Narrod,

It really doesn't matter if the wiring topology is correct. They are all the same type of conductor, etc., so simply connect the mini plug on one end and move around the rcas on the other end until you get the correct connection.

My guess is that the cable is going to work correctly as labeled.

Enjoy,

TIC
