You've got the same adapter I use with my G4 iBook.  It looks like the 
"dongle" that comes with the iBook, and connects into the same video 
out port as the dongle. You do need an RCA cable or S-video cable to 
connect from the adapter to the TV, and an audio connector to go from 
the headphone jack to the tv audio-in. Using the video adapter provides 
very sharp video when playing DVDs, but the picture is quite fuzzy if 
you try to use the tv as an external monitor.

I've been told that this one-piece AV adapter does not work with the 
newer iBooks, but I've never actually tried one.
