Video connections

The composite video connections should be made with high- quality 75Ω screened cable. We do not recommend the use of audio cables, which do not have adequate shielding or the correct impedance, or cables intended for UHF applications, as these do not provide adequate shielding in the 1-30MHz region.

The S-video connections should be made using S-video cables with miniDIN plugs.
