You should have gotten the "Amiga 2000 Manual Update" with your system,
I did.  It says:

"The Amiga 2000 you purchased has been upgraded since the _Introduction to the
 Amiga 2000_ was printed; the information presented in this documents reflects
 these changes".

"The composite monochrome video connector should be listed among Amiga
interfaces".  You can use it with a black-and-white monitor, or record
b&w on your VCR directly.  The video encoder gets all the signals it needs
elsewhere.
