Those are the official Apple products: [Apple Composite AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=4D79909E &fnode=home/shop ipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=MB129] or [Apple Component AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=4D79909E &fnode=home/shop ipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=MB129].

Hope this helps!

What do you mean? Tu connect your component cable to a scart lead, you'll need a scart adapter, just like this:

Why do you need 5 inputs? Hope we're on the same page... 😉

As much as I understood, you have already bought the Apple Component AV cable. OK! You should see 3 analog ports. The red and the white are for audio and the yellow is for image. So, you'll only need to connect them to the composite video inputs on your future scart adapter.

So an adapter similar to the picture must work perfectly.

Hope this helps!

Looks like a Component or Composite confusion to me Francisco.

I don't know* if you can get a Component /Scart adapter. He may have to buy Composite leads as well/instead of.

Component = red/white-audio + red/green/blue-video

Composite = red/white-audio + Yellow-video

*yes

I'm straying into a subject I'm not fully clear on here... but the other problem is that I believe not all SCART sockets are equal. I'm sure these convertors just change pins so you still need a device that can accept an RGB input. The Apple AV composite cable is a better option for most circumstances. Personally I also carry it with the SCART adapter.
