Audio/Video Port

Employed in: C64, C128, SX64

The C-64 has the great advantage of having both a TV and an audio/video jack. The latter provides a good picture on a monitor, especially when using a chroma/luma cable. The AV jack also offers a SID input (max. 0.6V).

[ Help! What is the pinout of the 5-pin DIN connector of the original C64 board version? ]
