Default Plugging Wii into new TV...no AV cable slots...

bit technically illiterate guys so sorry about that!

Just bought a Toshiba Regza 55" LED and trying to plug the Wii in and there are no outlets on the TV for me to actually plug in the AV cables. I believe a connector or adaptor of sorts originally came with the TV but I bought it as is with no box, manual, remote etc so this is missing.

Does anyone know what the part is I need? I have also seen these HDMI wii upscaler things on eBay, are they worth it?

Cheers guys!

it's probably like my samsung, you need an adapter to plug it into a 3.5mm plug...

Does you tv have component? Aftermarket wii component cables are pretty cheap on eBay.

Also iirc unless you use component cables, the Wii will look very grainy through standard AV cables.

You can get those HDMI adapter plugs that go straight into the Wii, then you run a HDMI cable from the plug to the TV - is that what you're talking about?
IIRC some of them are pretty good although you won't get any better quality than a component cable (red/blue/green RCAs). You get what you pay for.
