Hints
•If you connect the console to audio equipment using an optical digital cable, it may affect the audio output of some PlayStation®2 format software with the result that no sound is produced. If this happens, use a cable such as the supplied AV cable and connect it to the console's AV MULTI OUT connector. Do not use an optical digital cable.
•After connecting digital audio equipment, set "Digital Out (Optical)" to "On" in the System Configuration menu. For details, see "Digital Out (Optical)" (
page 31).
