The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the luminance(Y) signals are connected separately which allows for improved

signals modulated as an AM signal with an FM signal for audio.

With the shift to digital broadcasts, users may need an external converter box to continue accessing analog channels effectively.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Magnavox 20MT4405 is its audio performance.
