Other side of the Zune 80 board

What you won't find on the flash Zune is a TV encoder, which takes video data from the Zune 80's processor and converts it to analog TV signals to be sent out through the dock connector or the headphone jack. It supports both composite and component video formats. Both Zunes have an FM tuner that takes the FM radio broadcast signal from the headphone cable and converts it down to an audio signal to be routed back out to the headphone speakers for the user to listen to, as well as the USB PHY, a chip translates data to and from the processor to high speed (480MHz) USB in order to facilitate communication between the Zune and the host computer.
