They are just regular old AV cables, man. They plug into the side of the unit instead of the back. You can buy them at a drug store.

I just realized something. You will still need the RF switch even if you have the AV cables , right?

Wo wait, the origional NES's came with A/V cables and the RF switch? My parents must of thrown away the old A/V cables a long time ago. Anyway yeas, standard everyday A/V cables are compatible for the NES. I happen to be using oversized A/V cables with extremely thick insulated wires that knock out of the NES and the system selector rather easily >.<

There are two cables (usually attached) -- one for video, one for (mono) audio. You can go to Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, or anywhere else that sells "RCA Cables" and pick up a pair if you need some. I was just at Radio Shack the other day and picked up some 15 foot long ones for $10. You can get shorter ones for cheaper, or hit up anyone you know who does any stereo stuff at all, usually they'll have a pile of these lying around.

in order to hook it up to a stereo TV or reciever you'll need a (M)>2x(F) y-cord on the NES side and a V/L audio/R audio RCA cord, or a (F)>2x(M) y-cord on the TV/reciever side and 2-wire (or standard audio) RCA cord.
maybe that's the info you were looking for?

Here's what I'm really getting to: On the side of the NES there are a yellow and red output for AV cables. OK, I have a TV with two outputs white and yellow. Can I just plug a cable from the red on the NES into the white on the TV. That's what I want to know?

No no you can't.
Unless you ment to say your TV has a White and Yellow INPUT.

Yes, yellow is video. Red and white are both audio. Typically, red is for the right channel and white is for left and/or mono signals. The NES is mono so it doesn't matter.
Couldn't you have just plugged in the cables and tried it already?

I haven't played my NES in ages and had to order the adaptor and a controller online and am still waiting for it. But yeah I get it now. Yellow is video so there's no problem.

NES came with both A/V cable and RF switch from memory, as well as that two screw thingamajig for older TVs.
And yes, it's a normal A/V cable. I would recommend getting a Y-cable so that you have that mono audio going to both speakers. LOL
