TRS-80 video synch chaos

I used to use my TRS-80 Model 1 with standard composite video monitors
all the time. The two pins on either side of the center pin of the
jack are ground and 75-ohm composite video out. Pin 5 is ground, and
pin 4 is video. Don't short pin 1; it's +5v.

Front view of jack:

        v

   5 o o 4
