[Coco] CoCo 2 video outputs... composite?

[Salvador Garcia]

Ah ok, CoCo 2 RF out to VCR RF in then VCR composite out to monitor.

It does help much, thanks. Salvador

The CoCo 2 outputs on its RCA jack both video and audio modulated to
channel 3 or 4 (depending on which way you have your modulator switch on
the back of the CoCo set).  This can be connected to an F connector
(screw-on coax type) on the back of a TV or VCR.  It's common for VCRs to
have this F connector antenna input and then provide composite out via
another RCA jack (usually color coded yellow).  Audio would exit the VCR
via red/white RCA jacks.

Hope this helps,
Brendan
