Yes, the later models with 8-pin A/V ports support Luma/Chroma video out (S-Video). Straight composite is also supported using a 5-pin cable connected to the same port. The stand-alone phono connector is for RF out only, I believe.

Did the C=64 have S-video? I only ever used it with a television. Isn't that the composite out? If so, all of them had it.
In any case, if I have the cable you're looking for, I'll sell it to you. (see signature)
The middle pin of that 5-pin cable is ground, the left two pins are combined for composite video (colour) and the right two pins are for audio. (of vice versa, doesn't matter, you won't blow things up anyway). The two pins of the dedicated signal output are to be connected to each other. The audio output can be plugged in into the left AUX (or tape input) of your amplifier (it's NOT PHONO!).
This kind of output standard is called TTL and it's applied on many machines, like the Sega Megadrive, several 8 bit Atari's and ZX Spectrum (though the latter being slightly altered iirc).
