Elementary cabling question

My television is a Dell W3000 LCD. My DVD player is a Pioneer DV-420v-k.

I have a digital cable box (Atlanta Scientific I think) from my local service, Cox Cable. I connected the cable box to the TV via an s-video cable connection. I only have one on each device. Then I connected my DVD player to the TV via the composite/3 RCA jack connections, the TV only has one set of this type of jacks. I can play a DVD and get sound just fine but when I try to view TV I only get video. I only have one set of jacks on the TV to connect the AV/composite cable and I have alloted it to the DVD player. On the cable box I only have one other audio output labeled Digital Audio but I don't know how to use it on the TV since there is no matching jack available. On the DVD player I also have an s-video output jack but of course with only one on the TV it is useless. I guess it boils down to the simple issue of how do I get audio from the cable box to the TV when I am using the s-video connection. Oh yes, the tv does have an audio jack for input of computer sound.

Can anyone give this dummy a clue as to a simple way to fix this mess?

If your cable box is just a basic one, You need S-Video jack to transmit the video and RCA jacks (RED and White) to move the sound.

Your Pioneer DV-420v-k, you should at least use the Component cables (better picture) for the video (RED,BLUE and Green) and RCA jacks (RED and White) for the sound. You could use Composite, Yellow for video and red and white for sound.

There are different ways in which you can do this
