A/V Cable needed

I need a cable I've never seen before. It has 3 RCA (Red, White, Yellow) plugs at one end and a mini plug at the other end. I want to use a small monitor to manage the setup of my Denon 2910 universal player which I use only for audio. This is the only type of connection available on this particular monitor. Anyone know what I'm asking for and willing to point me in the right direction for purchase? Thanks.

Found it! It's a camcorder to VCR cable. Makes sense. The camcorder has limited real estate, therefore the need for the 3 conductor mini plug. Here's a link to one:

Enjoy,

Here is another for a lot less money than the Monster: less than 1/10th the price!

It's probably like this one that's used to connect video iPods. It has RCA's on one end for composite video and right and left audio. The other end is the same size as a mini-stereo plug but has three connector bands plus ground rather than the two plus ground of a stereo mini plug. An identical cable comes with the Kensington multimedia dock for iPods and there are probably other sources.

Thanks guys. I've ordered one that looks like it will do the trick. I still don't know if there is a standard wiritng topology so that L/R and Video RCAs match the three hotpoints on the mini-plug regardless of manufacturer.
