Connecting your console to a TV set

You can connect the PlayStation 2 console to most TVs or VCRs using the supplied AV cable
®
(integrated audio/video) as described below. The console can also be connected to other types of TVs
using specialized cables and adaptors, which are sold separately. For details, see the following
sections:
•Connecting to a TV with an S VIDEO input connector (this page)
•Connecting to a TV with component video input connectors (page 7)
The instructions in the above sections assume audio output through TV speakers.
Caution
For safety reasons, turn off the console and remove the power plug from the electrical outlet before making or adjusting
connections.
Note
If the picture quality is reduced when using progressive scan with a TV that supports progressive scan, try viewing in
standard interlace mode. For details on progressive mode, see "Progressive" on page 22.
Connecting to a TV with audio/video inputs
Connect your PlayStation 2 console to the TV using the supplied AV cable (integrated audio/video).
®
When connecting, match the color-coded cords to the appropriate jacks on the components: 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 supplied with your
TV for details.
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 pages 8-9.
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).
