How does one specify the adaptor used to convert from a standard DVD/VCR
to a pocket LCD TV? It looks like mini-phone (3.5mm) to RCA to my
old-fashioned eyes.

The portable/pocket TVs I've seen have a mini plug 75 ohm RF input,
not a composite vid input. So what you outlined won't work if you
plug it into the DVD/VCR composite vid out. What you need to use is
the RF out from a VCR or VCR/DVD unit, so that's a 75 ohm male F-plug
to mono male mini plug. If it's a DVD player only, you'll likely need
an RF modulator.

Beleive it or not, on my pocket tv (A Citizen ST855), it turned out the the
wiring for the audio/video cable to TV was exactly the same pinout and wiring
that is used on a PC's soundcard to RCA type cable. It has the 1/8 stereo jack
on the one end and the red and white rca jacks on the other side. I think the
white ended up being the video and the red the audio. Saved me $20 for the
cable.
