You really should have looked through the forum first, I know i have already answered this question at least 4 times, and god knows how many times it was answered before that!
Anyway, enough ranting
You need a 3 pole minijack to 3 phono cable. Like This one They are a lot cheaper than the sony cables, and i know they work, cuz i brought one off the same seller.

I have tried a cable supplied with my Archos AV20 Media Player with my A297. I get audio but no picture and the CP doesn't detect anything on Monitor 2. Is this likely to be cable incompatibility or a problem with the Vaio?

Also, how the hell do you search these forums?

Cheers

The search is in my signiture until Sony sort it out.

As for the cable, try another

So the Stereo audio and the video signal is sent only through the yellow port?

I have just got a K315Z and with my old Vaio i always used the yellow cable AND a stereo cable from the headphones, was this unnessecary?

For future reference....
White Phono = Left Channel Sound
Red Phono = Right Channel Sound
Yellow Phono = Video
