Description

1 AV select (see note below)
2 Video in/out
3 Chassis ground
4 Left audio in/out
5 12V
6 Right audio in/out

Note: Pin 1 (A/V select) determines whether the connection is an input or output. On a TV when pin 1 is high the socket is an input, when low it is an output. For a VCR the function is reversed, high for output and low for input.
