Default Connecting a Raspberry Pi to an old TV

You need to be in AV obviously, not going to tune it in as it has no
modulator does it?

Son was delighted to receive a Pi yesterday, but we cannot seem to view
anything, using an ancient Sony portable TV. The only conventional PC
monitors we have use VGA.

The Pi has a yellow phono socket for video output. The TV has a
conventional TV aerial input, and a Scart socket. We don't have a lead
with Scart plug on one end, and three phono plugs on the other, but I did
find an adaptor thingy that is a Scart plug, with three phonos on the
back. No lead. I plugged that into the TV, and used an ordinary audio
lead, with phono plug on each end, to connect the adaptor to the Pi.
Nothing. Went right through the tuning band of the TV, but zilch. What am
I doing wrong or, more to the point, what else do I need to buy?

Thanks.
