Notes
As mentioned on p.33 of the owner's manual, do not connect S-Video and composite at the same time as they share the same signal lines.
Having a 2-line comb filter, performance with composite 240p is poor, resulting in excessive hanging dots (see pic of comb results in gallery). An external notch filter can be used to decode composite and send it to the S-Video input, bypassing the set's comb & avoiding all the hanging dots. A guide for doing so is here.
The jungle chip has two sets of analog RGB inputs, one for the OSD and the another which is unused. To RGB mod, lift the second set of RGB pins and their associated blanking pin, and wire according to the jungle's datasheet.
