    You will need to buy a convertor. Something like this:

    http://www.svideo.com/fsvmrca.html

    This will convert S-Video to composite and you can plug it into the yellow jack.

    bare in mind you will lose a hole s*** of quality just go out and purchase a new tv it will only cost you about 200.00 to 300.00 for a flat panel tv with s-video already on it

    I tried this and wasn't happy with the quality. If your TV is old enough not to have S-Vid, I wouldn't bother.
