This compact SNES Jr. redesign shrinks the console and drops the RF option, leaving composite video only on its AV Multi Out (S-Video and RGB need a mod). The cartridge slot is still a top-loader, and power consumption drops slightly to about 9W. It keeps the original's two controller ports but has no expansion port. Below is the full connector layout.

Notes & Compatibility
Cost-reduced SNES redesign. Composite video output only – S-Video and RGB signals present but disabled internally (can be restored via modification). No RF output port. No expansion port. Smaller and lighter than original. Top-loading cartridge slot. Popular among modders for RGB restoration due to clean video output. A standard SNES composite Multi Out cable is the stock route; S-Video and RGB Multi Out cables add nothing unless the console has been modded (S-Video and S-RGB kits exist for this model). On a modern TV, feed composite into a composite-to-HDMI converter.
