S-Video cable for iPod

    Hi, I currently have my iPod hooked up to my tv via the apple av leads.
    However the leads wont reach both my amp and my tv so to even just listen to music I have to turn the tv on. The real pain tho is if I'm playing my xbox 360 or whatever and I want to listen to my iPod through the amp, I have to unplug it.I dont want to hook the iPod through the 360 either.
    So I see on the iPod dock an S-Video out...
    And on my tv there is an S-Video in... so happy days, I thought, but the number of pins for each os different, 4 on the tv and 7 on the iPod dock...
    The tv is this http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/99557/art/samsung/le32r51-hd-ready-32-82cm.html
    and it is the standard Apple AV dock.
    Can anyone recommend the correct cable for me or point me in the right direction? All I can seem to find is 4pin to 4pin...

    And before you all start about the quality, its fine for me through the av cables so I cant imagine its any worse with S-Video.

    Thanks a million
