Impossible?: Changing the Video Output on Casio P-505

I have a new Casio P505 that I need the video output to show an opposite image, what the little screen switches to when it is flipped to the front.

Since the little monitor that is built into the camera turns its self when I flip it, I figured the TV monitor would do the same. I figured wrong. When I plug the AV cable into the TV, the camera locks into the way the little monitor looks when it is flat on the back. When I move the little monitor to the side, then flip it to the front, it will not change when the TV is plugged in. So if one stands in front of a TV the image will not change into a mirror image but remain the direct opposite, like using a medium format waist level finder, instinct tells you to move to the right when really you should move to the left.

I am willing to break this camera to make this work. I can not just have the signal flipped with an external device because the little numbers in the screen would be backwards too. Not sure if that's even possible. One way to make this work would be to remove the little screen on the back and wire its signal as a video output. Since the image does flip when the screen is flipped, the new video output would too. I have been told that this is impossible. The other way it would work is if the firmware can be edited to make the video output to display like the little screen. Any suggestions? Anyone with skills hack for money? I don�t know what to do.

Thanks.
