You will want to interrupt the jumper wire that connects pin 6 of the TA1310N jungle to pin 21 of the QA01 microprocessor, making sure there is nothing else on the line going to pin 6 (cut the trace). I wired it so the original circuit going to QA01 could be restored with a SPDT switch, including a 1k ohm resistor to ground (which was RR07). The other end of the switch you want to be 3 volts -- I got it by tapping the 7805 voltage regulator and feeding 5V through 20k ohm and 30k ohm resistors in series to ground, and getting 3V in the middle of the resistors. If you refer to page 92 of the TA1310N datasheet there is an example circuit that shows a similar configuration for a three-way switch between RGB (2.1V and up), half-tone (less bright RGB picture that triggers below 2V) and totally grounded for the other inputs like composite/S-video/component.
Feed your RGB lines to pins 3-5, making sure you have each line tied to ground with 75 ohms and going through a 104 cap before entering the jungle. Then you just feed 3 volts to pin 6. Sync can be wired directly to the composite input jack, and audio to the audio jacks.
If you're using a scart connector as your RGB input, make sure to connect the TV's ground to at least pin 18 (sync) of your scart connector.
