OK I will try swapping around combos but before I do will it damage anything and also why is there a 4th section on the 3.5 jack when only 3 go in
what you are doing will never work since your are trying to get a signal "OUT" of an "IN" port.It requires a special cable with a Sony unique plug to plug into the Sony unique PS2 "AV1 RGB" port. that will give you your Sound and video out.

Can you say which colour order your 231 relates to?Did you try all combinations of colours?
OK.Can you try this:(1) Remove all PS2 BNC plugs.(2) Push the four contact jack fully home into and out of the TV jack socket at least ten times (hopefully to clean the contacts and excercise the jack socket internal switch- if fitted).(3) Connect the yellow PS2 plug to the TV BNC sockets in turn.(4) Which connection gives you a picture (there should be no sound from the TV left or right speakers).

So buying the lead with the metal instead of plastic will make no difference then. When I look down the connection socket that is actually on the PS2 I can see that there are metal contacts that would connect with a metal plug, unless they are just spring loaded do-dahs to hold any plug in place plastic or metal. Odd taht the OEM sony one is plastic and yet there are after market ones that are metal.
Does the PS2 work when you plug it into the other sockets that you don't wish to use? - Just making sure there's nothing wrong with the PS2 and the output lead.Looking at your original post I may have noticed a problem.The picture of the sockets at the rear of your TV. You have circled the socket you wish to use, the line of that circle goes through another socket next to the one you're trying to use. To me, it looks like you should be using both sockets. One for Audio (left) and one for video (right).The easiest option would be to buy a PS2 to HDMI Converter.

Yes, there does seem to be something odd going on because one of the combinations of connections should work OK on most TVs (as far as I know).My thoughts are that: (1) there is a specific fault with the system somewhere: jack socket on TV, or phono to jack cable (the PS2 to phono lead has been proved because it works when plugged in the back of the TV).(2) the TV has a non-standard A/V jack socket arrangement (knowing the TV model may allow this to be resolved)(3) the output from the PS2 needs to be set up from the configuration menu(4) the output from the PS2 needs to be set up from the configuration menu(5) the jack plug is simply not going fully home into the jack socket on the TV for some mechanical reason This seems to be the most common TRRS (Tip Ring Ring Screen) jack plug audio visual pin out (composite video, individual left and right audio, ground [screen]:(picture to be inserted when I find out how )
(5) the jack plug is simply not going fully home into the jack socket on the TV for some mechanical reason
