How to setup Ps2 on my tv ?

[WolfLoverPro]

MY tv has red blue n green and the ps2 cable is red yellow white so ? It's not working or showing video

Get a new TV that actually supports AV. Or just get a SCART adapter for the PS2's cables.

Just plug the yellow one into each slot on your TV until something comes out..sometimes they just use different color idk why but i have tried that in the past.

I have tried plugging each colour into each slot nothings working there's options for scart or svideo I'm guessing it's scart so idk why

ur TV has composite video

 

red blue and green is composite

 

red yellow white is AV

 

av connectors wont work in composite eventhough it fits

 

either get a av to scart connector

 

or get a ps2 to hdmi connector or composite ( yeah they have those )

You seems to be mistaking Component and Composite there?

 

Red Green Blue(+red and white for audio) is Component, his TV is that.

Yellow, White, Red is Composite, which is what his PS2 currently has. (also known as RCA or "AV")

 

He would need a PS2 to component cable, not composite. (like this one, not saying to get that one in particular, shop around)

Or a PS2 to HDMI box/dongle. (like this one, again, not saying to get that one in particular, shop around)

 

As for Scart, not too sure what he'd do with that with his PS2 and modern TV. I mean, I don't even think I've seen that connector in the last 15 years.

The TV is using component. Red/green/blue is component, whereas the yellow connector(the only one for video) is composite.

 

@WolfLoverPro If you want to use your PS2 on that TV using component, you can grab an AV to component adapter for your PS2. I've used the adapter and it works fine. The PS2 natively supports component output.

Also a side note...The only thing that emits video using Composite is the yellow connector. The white and red are strictly for audio. Typically(I haven't seen anything without it), Component connectors will have the red/green/blue colors for video output, and the white and red for audio. Your TV might support use of Composite cables but you will need to look at the Component connectors and/or the manual for the TV if you have it. I have an LG TV that allowed the use of the yellow connector in one of the Component connectors.

Some TVs make the green input in the component video input to do double duty as both composite and component G. Worst case if you're really desperate, you can plug composite into the green input and you'll be left with a black and white image.

 

EDIT: Otherwise there are plenty of component cables for the PS2 online. The ones for the PS3 are compatible too since they used the same analog AV connector.

[PlayStation 2]

Didn't know people were clueless on what composite and component video were until I saw like the first three replies to this thread.

Above is correct, just try sourcing component cables for either the PS2 or PS3; both are interchangeable.

In Europe SCART (and JP21 in Japan) is still common in new TVs. RGB SCART's picture quality is pretty much equal to component but it lacks support for HD resolutions.

@WolfLoverPro Just buy a component cable for your PS2. Trust me, you will be much better off doing this as the quality will be much better than using composite. You can get them extremely cheap (around $10 USD and under) on Amazon and eBay. If you don't mind spending a little extra, I do recommend getting the Sony branded ones. Those are a little more pricey though. You are looking at $40+ USD for a used set.

Red, green, and blue are component video connections.  Component requires RGB cables for video and then red and white for audio.  Red White and yellow cables are composite/AV, where the red and white are audio and the yellow is video.

RGB is best for old consoles. And all old Consoles up to PS2 can do RGB in Games.

In "DVD Player Mode" that is not the case however, depending on the DVD...

 

So you should look for an RGB Cable for the PS2...

Naa, Component and RGB are two different things and work completely different.

Component is howerver a relative good analogue connection.

 

Composite the second worst and should be avoided for everything over 15" or something like that (well, maybe 20 but really no more)...

 

Composite is just crap, only RF-Modulation sucks more than that...

So if possible at least an S-Video signal should be used or RGB, if at all possible...

And that is possible with the right RGB Cable.

Pretty sure you misread my post.
