You don't, unless you only want a black and white picture of course.

Many TVs have a shared component video - composite video input. If yours does there will be a place in the TV menu to change to composite video. Check the owners manual.

Actually that is not true. I figured it out. Red into red (R), white into white (L) = for right and left speakers and the yellow into green (CVBS/Y). Set the source on "componet/AV" and BOOM, just watched a movie, IN COLOR!!
