Got it figured out. Great tips guys!

Interestingly, composite video-in works through pins 2 and 3 on the 8-pin EIAJ, and audio-in works according the pinout diagram (pins 7, and 8). I'll just be ignoring the "big UHF connectors". Better picture through composite anyways.

I'm new to the forum so thanks all for being patient with a noob.

I stand corrected on the audio. I did not see them on my blowup. I will correct my post.

Yes you can use the 8-pin for the audio and video. I have an old 8-pin adaptor with pigtails for the A/V. But the UHF and 1/8" mini will do the same. They are both the same A/V path in through different connections. The 8-pin was invented to eliminate multiple wires and keep it to one simple connection for all A/V.

The UHF is just a relic of the early days of television video connections. The BNC and RCA were yet to be invented.

You're also right about the 1/8" mono inputs being for audio. Nicely spotted.
