So simple, it doesn't need instructions...
If you need instructions, you can use the following: Insert one end of the cables into Device A. Insert the other end of the cables in Device B. Congratulations, you are done.
If you buy a cable with an S-Video connector and are then suprised to find out that your television does not have S-Video, why do you blame the cable? Shouldn't you just be embarrassed for yourself? Read the product description, people!
The cable delivers fine audio and video quality, which is, OF COURSE, dependent on the source material and the television or monitor you are using, not the cable. "Broadcast" an NTSC signal to your television across this cable and it will look as good as the picture you usually enjoy. It's well constructed and is more attractive than most cables to boot.
If you're smart enough to know what you are buying, this will meet your needs.

doesn't work.
Look, this needs some sort of instructions. My TV doesn't have a super-v socket. Which many people's won't. So I went to Tandy (Radio Shack) and got a scart adaptor just to use it. When I finally get resolution settings right, it'll still only output to black and white. It's going back I'm afraid. Oh, and to the user who says anyone who can't set this up, we shouldn't be using computers in the first place? Well, whatever... Let's not play flame-wars. But I've been using macs and PC's for 18 years - but when you do something new you need a hand. At this price there's no excuses for a missing out a proper setup brochure with troubleshooting sections.

People rating it low don't understand how it works...
Those of you complaining of poor image quality obviously have never hooked your laptop up to a TV. The limitation in the image quality lies with the television, which is relatively (very) low resoltuion and not designed for the precise demands of computer use. Whether you use a Monster cable or a $2 Radio Shack cable, the outcome will almost be the same because the TV is the limitation, not the cable!!
As far as how it works... your PowerBook's manual explains how to hook it up to a TV. And if you don't know where to plug it in (um, if you put it into Video 1, set the TV to video 1, etc...) then you probably shouldn't be using a computer in the first place.
Seriously, people. This cable, like most Monster produts, is overpriced, but it's engineered well, the all-in-one convenience rocks, and it has a great warranty.

Poor image quality
I agree with the person who says there are no instructions and poor image quality. I wonder if they gave us a mini jack like games systems use if it would work better on TVs that have the 3 jacks on the front. Games systems get good image quality so why is this so bad... No info on this from Monster. Looks like a very good product but I will return it unfortunately. I did discover though that I can use a stereo jack with R-L on one end and a mini jack on the ibook end to give me audio speakers on any TV or Stereo for my iTunes, and audio for a DVD that I am playing but I don't need to spend this much money to get that. If the image were good I would keep it. I would rather show my slide shows from the computer. The image was very bad...

Simply doesnt work
I was anxious to buy this product so I could finally connect my PowerBook to a TV. The cable is well constructed, of obvious high quality, and came nicely packaged. The advertising for the product makes it seem simple: Just hook up the cables and you instantly get a high quality image from your PowerBook on your television. Unfortunately, it just doesnt work as promised. After multiple attempts I have never been able to get the product to work properly.
The package contains no documentation or information on connecting the cables or troubleshooting. Connection seems easy enough but the RCA jacks that go to the TV are poorly labeled and with more than a dozen possible places for them to connect on the back of the TV it isnt clear where they go. I was eventually able to make the right connections but the quality of the final image was poor and didnt fit on the screen properly. I was able to manipulate some settings on the computer to improve the image but the final image was never acceptable.
I wish Monster would provide better documentation with this product or on their website (I have searched the website several times). I would suggest against purchasing this product. I think Monster charges much too high a price for a product that produces such a poor final result.
