You can't tell when he did this and which TV and cable set he had at that time. To me, the time of CRT TVs with SCART and S-Video inputs is like yesterday, for example 😎

I've contacted the seller, and according to him:

- RCA connections for Left/right stereo
- S-Video connection (I am not sure why he did this, because afaik component is better, right?)
- SPDIF with a BNC connection

It should arrive tomorrow, so i am very curious what's up with this xbox.

Red and white RCA connectors are the standard colors for Right and Left stereo audio outputs.

Orange is generally for a coaxial digital audio output.  Black ???

S-Video is better than composite.  If their TV had S-Video in but no component video input, there's no reason to add it.

As for the BNC for digital audio output (SPDIF):

There are two advantages to BNC: (1) it has a characteristic impedance (50 or 75 ohms depending on use), and (2) is a locking (bayonet) connector. It should make no difference whether you go RCA or BNC, and you don't really need a 75 ohm cable either if you are only spanning a few feet.

Thanks for explaining! According to Wikipedia:
They are often color-coded, yellow for composite video, red for the right audio channel, and white or black for the left channel of stereo audio.

I need to remove the clock cap to prevent leaking, so when i'm opening it up tomorrow i will post some pics of the inside.
