How can you hook up your ipod to your tv.?

I have the new ipod nano. I want to play my videos an shows on my tv which is a DVD Home Theatre System DAV-HDXS76WF and it came with a universal dock can i get it to play from that dock. If yes how? If no i understand you don't have to buy the acually dock that apple recomands. I heard you could use any type of cable chord from like a digital camera or so on. When i try to hook it up to my Samsung 50" Flat Screen it still doesn't play and i also need to know which one it is i have a cable that has a yellow chord and a black chord but where would i plug in the black chord. I also need to know how which source it needs to be on and then i have a other chord that has a yellow and orange chord. Please i need some serous help with this.
Thanx
