RGB Modding

The RGB modding potential for this model is currently unknown. Forum discussions suggest that some users have inquired about RGB muxing or component modding for this specific model, particularly by repurposing the RCA ports for video 2. However, without access to the service manual or specific information about the jungle chip, definitive RGB mod compatibility cannot be confirmed. Further investigation of the hardware would be required to determine modding feasibility.

Known Issues

None documented.
