I just opened my 4-port 5200 console to get a better look at the board inside and I noticed somethiing. Right next to the power supply/video signal cable's connection there is a female RCA jack. Is that used for the video signal? In other words, can this be used to bypass the need for the 4-port switchbox? If not, what is this used for?

It was probably put there so there was the option of using a hard wired cable or a cable with a connector.

If I had a spare 5200, I'd open it up and check it out, probably find something goofy to do with it (maybe even electrocute myself in the process :D !!!!).
