The A520 connects to the RGB port of the A500 and provides several features.
First, it provides composite color to monitors that cannot handle RGI.  Second,
it provides RF out to connect to a TV.  You connect the left and right audio
outputs of the A500 to the A520 via a Y-adaptor.

The A500 has composite monochrome built-in, but not composite color.
