The red/yellow/white lead does nothing.
Hopefully this has been sorted out with the SCART lead.

For completeness the red/yellow/white lead is to take composite
video, left sound and right sound from the player to something which
can accept these. The television does have these connections, they
are built into the SCART specification and you can get leads with a
SCART connector on one end and red, yellow and white phono plugs on
the end to take these signals. There is no reason to do this unless
pushed, SCART has a better method of sending video built into it too
(though this is not always used by some bits of equipment).

Aha! This is good. The red & white sockets on the TV are currently
connected to the surround sound thingy which I love & SWMBO hates. I forsaw
that as being a problem.



Until you get the SCART cable, to save swapping between the Telewest box
and the DVD player, you may have a set of phono sockets (That the
pictured cable that came with the DVD player, would plug into) on the
front or side of the TV that are inputs (they would usually have a
picture of a box or circle with an arrow pointing into it, like the
picture on the back of the TV near the output phono connectors your
surround sound system, but as this is an output, the arrow is pointing
out of the circle. Have you checked under any flaps the TV has!
