RCA cables

I bought a new set of RCA cables for my DVD player(needed longer
ones)...There is a red, yellow,white and a black connector on each
end...What's the black one for? I have nowhere to plug the black one in,
can it just hang there?
Connected the 3 colors needed and all works fine..
...TIA...Card

Might be a S-Video connector. If the TV doesn't have a S-Video
connection it can just hang there.

Here's what a S-Video plug looks like:

Sounds to me like Stereo audio leads however if the picture is ok don't
worry about the extra connector.

That's kind of weird. Usually black is S-Video and yellow is plain
video. It seems strange to have both in the same cable set.
