Connecting your PlayStation®2

This section explains the connecting method for listening to sound through your TV speakers.

If you wish to connect to audio equipment with digital connectors, see “Connecting digital audio equipment” on page 6.

Connecting to a TV with audio/video input

Connect your PlayStation®2 console to the TV using the supplied AV Cable (integrated audio/video). When connecting the cords, be sure to match the colour-coded cords to the appropriate jacks on the equipment: yellow (video) to yellow, red (right audio) to red and white (left audio) to white.

After connecting

Set your TV to the appropriate video input mode. Refer to the instruction manual for your TV.

When connecting to a wide-screen TV (16:9 aspect ratio)

Set “Screen Size” in the System Configuration menu to “16:9.” For details on the System Configuration menu, see page 7.

If your TV is monaural

Do not connect the red plug. If you want to hear both left and right sounds from a monaural TV, use a commercially available dual phono to single phono (stereo to monaural) type audio cable (sold separately).

Static image caution

Static, non-moving images, such as DVD menus, configuration displays or paused images may leave a faint image permanently on the TV screen if left on for extended periods of time.

Projection TVs are more susceptible to this than other types of displays. Do not operate the console in such a manner that this could occur.

Note about bouncing effect

Some TVs or monitors may experience a bouncing effect in their pictures when using the PlayStation®2 console. There is nothing wrong with the PlayStation®2 console or the way it is manufactured. The problem technically lies within the television. If you encounter such a problem with your television/monitor, please contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found:
