Hmmm... that doesn't seem to be the factory configuration. The
C4 SAMS (sitting in my lap right now) and both of my own examples
show the top inside (left as you are facing the rear of the machine
and the machine is right side up) as video, below it (only on a C4P
NOT mf) are cassette out and in. There is no cassette I/O on a C4Pmf.
Top outside is audio, below that is DAC out and below that is AC.

That looks about right but to avoid confusion, it should be noted that
in the factory configuration only pins 2, 5, 6, 11 and 12 are used. 2
goes to the rear mounted pot for color adjustment, 5 and 6 to video out
and 11 and 12 to AC CONTROL (which I think is an early form of X10
appliance control).
