Notes

The built-in speakers have door flaps that open, which is a nice-looking touch.

The AV-2690 shares the same chassis, and that one has a digital RGB input. The chassis would later be further refined to accommodate the new SVHS input in 1987.

S-Video Mod

This set can be modified for s-video. Its as simple as injecting without using any additional components:

1. Luma line is injected at the pin for the video 1 input.
2. Chroma is injected where the signal outputs from the transistor to the Load components into the jungle.
3. After that, just choose a place for ground, and voila!
