Graphics Card - SVideo Help

Hi - Was hoping someone could help as am struggling.
I am trying to send a PC signal to my TV so bought a One For All 1750 kit to do this. Prior to doing this I checked that my Graphics card (ATI Radion HD 3650) had Svideo output and reviews said it had.

The Radeon HD 3650 is a single-slot card that draws all of its power from the PCI Express (PCIe) slot. It boasts a pair of dual-link DVI ports for dual-monitor output, a component-video/S-Video connector, and a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) adapter for one of the DVI ports


Anyway am now trying to connect and there is no slot on the back of my pc for this. The only output slot I can see would appear to be a second monitor output (as described above) do I need a converter cable?

Anyone come across this before - I turned PC over expecting to find a 4 slot Svideo hole but none there.

Thanks

    Different graphics card manufacturers make different decisions about which outputs to put on their cards. If yours doesn't have an S-video connector then I think you're out of luck.

    ATI Radeon HD 3650 refers to the graphics processor on the card, the card itself may be manufactured by any one of a number of companies. So a review of that graphics processor doesn't necessarily refer to the exact card you have.

    Often s-video can be 7-pin. Does it have that?

    Does your TV have any other input options other than s-video? HDMI? DVI?
