I find that the tv out cable is too short to use with my hdtv. So what is the best and cheap extender for the bundled tv out?
Thanks

I believe that you can use any cinch extender. I recently used one for audio and it worked flawlessly.
Edit:
For what it's called see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_jack

Removed wrong information about using 3.5mm extension.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector
Having a closer look it seems that a normal stereo plug is different than the plug used with the TV cable. A stereo plug contains 2 rings, the TV cable 3.

EDIT forgot the link the adapter is < 3$
http://www.audiogear.com/Audio-Adapters-RCA-Plugs.html
Then just use three standard RCA cables.
If you tell radio shack what your doing they will show you what you need.
Radio shack has the cables in many lengths and I am sure they also carry the gender benders

Ok.. So you could actually use a TRRS extension cord as well. Though I believe those could be rare.
For visualisation see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IP...udio_plugs.JPG
A normal stereo plug has only 2 noticable rings and the TV cable has 3 rings.

when you go to radioshack just look for rca couplers and a length of rca cable you want. bestbuy probably doesnt carry them and male to female rca cables are hard to find.
