    Doesn't it say anything in your manual? It should give you some info.

    The most common is the s-video plug (video) with an 3.5 jack (3 pole) for audio. an s-video socket looks like this:

    You can get SVideo -> Kinch, Scart. Its no problem hooking it up once you got that port and the chances are high that, that is the port you have.
