I have an older TV that has composite connections but no S-Video connection. If I have an S-Video cable can I hook it up to the TV using only the composite connections and skipping the S-Video part altogether?
Thanks!

It should work. Though composite is cheap/easy for a reason. I'd keep your expectations low from TVs that limited, they can only process lossy video input.

Lum fan.

There are dongles that will turn an s-video din into a composite rca, I have one, but there's really no point, it will look no better than composite. Might as well just stick to composite cables if that's the best your TV supports natively.
I'm confused. Why not just buy a composite cable for whatever you're trying to hook up?
