The I/O sound from the French CBS ColecoVision
is not located at the same place as the ordinary ColecoVision.
French I/O sound is located on pins 19 / 42.
For higher SGM sound volume, try to pull a cord directly from the scart plug
audio output inside your French CBS ColecoVision and place it directly to
the CR5 Diode.
It works for ColecoVision.dk, but remember, this is at your own risk and
ColecoVision.dk disclaims any liability.
