That's specifically made for PCs by the looks of things. It should work. In
fact it should just work if you force composite. For some reason on yer
setup the S-Video output switches off when in composite mode.
Have you tried altering the colour system, to say some flavour of NTSC? Most
modern European TVs can handle it. There was someone else in here who said
it worked in NTSC/J in composite mode.
