S-video is fine for all NTSC TV's, HDTV and component is awsome.

Basically a blind man wouldn't notice the difference.. not saying your blind, just that maybe you haven't tried S-Video with your consoles, there is a marketable difference even my Sister notices.
Is there a way to have systems like TG-16 and Genesis use S-video without doing a major modification?

Thanks for the info by the way. I'm just pissed because all my systems are hooked up with AV.

what is "dot-crawl" BTW?
