My Zenith ZTAC has video and audio outputs.  Neither the picture nor
the sound (the sound is louder -- big deal) are much better though.
I don't have any MTS equipment so maybe someone can answer this for
me.  Is this audio output a baseband audio signal or is it at the audio
IF.  In other words, is there a chance of it containing the MTS
signal?
