Genesis:Video Cables
There are many different video cables available for the various models of Genesis consoles.
Genesis 1 Cables
RGB (SCART)
The Genesis Model 1 doesn’t output stereo through the rear A/V port; that port only outputs mono sound. Luckily, the front headphone jack does output stereo, so the Genesis 1 cables listed above have a 3.5mm headphone cable that routes stereo audio through the SCART connector.

Component YPbPr
While the Genesis doesn't support native YPbPr output, you can use a cable to convert RGB output to YPbPr.
