+==== Notes ====
+  * CSYNC/Composite Sync is replaced by **+9VDC** on **PAL** Sega Saturn systems
-  * Someone once said: //The L and R audio assignments have been swapped, as this info has been incorrect for n years... :(//
+  * Sega style 10 pin mini din connectors for DIY cables can be purchased from Tim Worthington [[http://etim.net.au/shop/shop.php?crn=205&rn=514&action=show_detail|here]]
-  * [[http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=4236|KillingBeans says]] pin 1 is SYNC in NTSC territories, but is 9V DC in PAL regions.  Watch for this!
-Before you ask: the Saturn outputs 15kHz RGB, which is SCART compatible but NOT VGA compatible.
-----
+  * Luma (pin 9) can be used as sync when connecting RGB to devices such as the XRGB-mini and Sony PVM monitors.
-Image and Sync/9V details lifted from [[http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=4236.msg28506#msg28506|this forum thread]].  Thanks KillingBeans.
+  * Details for modifying a NTSC system to output 9VDC as found on PAL systems can be found in [[http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=4236.msg28506#msg28506|this forum thread]].  Thanks KillingBeans.
