Muchas gcs! ^_^ |
| | | conector combinado de audio/video | Explanation:
You cannot use "compuesto" here, since "composite video" ("vide compuesto) is a specific type of video signal, as opposed to component video, S-video, SDI video, HD-SDI video, etc. The idea here is that one single plug carries both the audio and the video signals, but if you translate it as "conector audio/video compuesto" that leads to ambiguity and confusion. To make it clear that it is the CONECTOR that is "compuesto", not the "video", the best way is to translate it as "conector combinado de audio/video"x. |

5 hrs confidence:  | composite audio/video jack conector de audio/video
Explanation:
Dejaría fuera el "composite." NUNCA he visto ningún aparato que tenga estos conectores en lugares completamente distintos. Además "conector" en singular ya implica que están juntos. Me parece que "composite" en el original es para que suene más "chick."
