I'm posting this again, our news processor went haywire and we didn't receive
any messages for two weeks.

This monitor is switchable from RGB to Composite. It has an DB-25 RGB
connector and a set of RCA phono type jacks for composite. There was
a message floating around (dated 4 Jan 87) that showed how to connect
a Sony XBR monitor to an ST and it works (I've seen the result). I
realize that I could just use the composite input with the STE but I
would like to use the RGB for obvious reasons. Anybody got any clues????
