How to Connect a Wii With S-Video

Nintendo's Wii gaming system uses a proprietary plug to connect to the game console, with composite audio/video cables on the other end. Connecting the Wii to a device with an S-video jack requires an adapter for the composite video plug. Adapters are available at electronics and computer stores. The audio cables for the Wii connect in the same manner to a set of RCA-type audio jacks common on almost all television sets.
