AV cable

TV hookup cord

An AV cable carries audio and video signals between devices—typically connecting a DVD player, game console, or camcorder to a television.

The most familiar type uses three color-coded RCA connectors: red and white for stereo audio, yellow for composite video.

I need an AV cable to hook up the old Nintendo.
