The simplest and easiest way to hook up a VIC 20
to a monitor is simply to buy a monitor cable and
plug it into the back of the VIC instead of the
modulator.  If you are too cheap to buy a cable,
simply reference the appendix in the back of the
users manual you got with the computer.  It shows
a pinout for the Audio/Video connector.  If you
have a B&W monitor you will want the luminance
signal to feed to the video in of the monitor.
If you have a color monitor, hook up the video
out signal to the video in of the monitor.
The same goes for audio out.  The DIN connectors
are available at Radio Shack.  If you have a
Commodore monitor, you can get even a better picture
by hooking both the luminance and video out
signals to the rear of the monitor.  That's the
next best thing to RGB.

If there are any further questions, please post them
to net.micro.cbm.
