OK. I have a 65XE, with a round connector on the back to connect to a monitor.
Up to now, I have been using the standard modulated output, connected to a
regular TV.
I just got a nicer TV that has direct video and audio inputs.
I assume that going from the 65XE directly to the TV's video input will give
me a sharper picture, and *maybe* allow GRAPHICS 8/80 chars to happen.
So...
Does the 65XE video port supply composite video and direct audio out?
If so, does the Reticon cable I have seen that terminates in two phono jacks
work for me?  If so, how is it connected?  I would rather not just try it, 
given the $'s I paid for the TV.
