have just got this half price from next.

To connect to tv it has 2 leads for video/audio which are yellow and white. However I don't have the corresponding holes in my tv, only scart sockets.

Can anybody advise pls?

    It's a scart to phono (RCA) adapter, maplins/comet/curry's/pcworld - probably 2.50-£10 region, but don't go mad and pay for the gold plated stuff, as it's a waste of money. Are you sure you have no phono connectors on the front of the telly (sometimes under a flap)?

    Many DIY stores sell cheap ones, as well as supermarkets.

    Also, have you checked the front of the video (if you have one), as they quite often have phono inputs..

    You can get a composite to SCART adapter

    It will something like this

    The yellow lead carries the composite video signal

    The white lead carries the audio (only mono though as that was the C64 capability)
