pasted from samsung manual :
TV out
Configure settings for connecting your device to a TV via an
optional device-to-RGB cable, to view content from the device on
the TV.
1. From a Home screen, press the Menu Key ➔ Settings
➔ Display settings.
2. Touch TV out to enable or disable TV out connectivity.
3. Touch TV system to choose PAL or NTSC.

the cable : mini stereo (3.5 mm) to RCA video cable

thats what this guide suggests :

Hello, that all depends on what kind of outgoing connections you have on your phone.  Check the manual for the phone, if you do not have a manual go to manufacturer’s site and download it there.

According to the specifications for the Samsung Galaxy phone on link, it does not have tv-out.  You might have a different model though..

The following is the link for manual:

Now, if you have the Samsung Galaxy S II, it has tv-out:

It works on the way explained on the following link:

For this to work you would need a MHL cable, which is a cable that has HDMI in one end and a micro usb port on the other.
