    Yellow is video.
    Red is right channel audio.
    White is left channel audio.

    spdif is audio, yellow (orange) is video, unless of course you're talking about S-Video, and you haven't got an audio cable at all.

    First, determine if the input or output you have is S-Video (or something else) on both devices. (RTFM) :)
    Go down to the local Radio Shack, BetsBuy or whatever, and get the cables and adapters you need.
    You need a method of getting video from one to the other.
    You need a method of getting audio from one to the other.
    It's that simple.
