Greg,

  Another option would be a pasive S-Video -> Composite adapter - they can
be purchased from Radio Shack for about $25 (Model: 15-1238), or from online
retailers like http://www.partsexpress.com (search for "S-Video Converter")
for about $5 + shipping.

I used a couple of the Radio Shack brand units with my home theater system
for my VCR because everything else I had was S-Video. (One to convert
S-Video from my receiver to Composite IN for the VCR, the other for
Composite Out from the VCR to the receiver).   As a matter of fact, they're
still in place, but we never use the VCR anymore - sign of the times, eh?)
The Picture Quality was better than I expected - I didn't notice any
artifacts from the adapter, and I'm pretty picky.  ;-)   (Even on the 27" TV
w/S-Video we had at the time)
