There were composite and component cables for these consoles.

My mnemonic device for remembering which of the two that sucked was that: one is called component, and the other is compo-shite :)

Composites with the one with only one video cable, component has three. Both having two audio for stereo.

Yeah, it couldn't separate the video channels.

YPbPr or RGB cables were essential if you had a compatible monitor. Composite just sucked
