Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 05-01-18
I am trying to plug in a PS2 into my tv but the ps2 only has phono outs Red White Yellow and the problem is those sockets are at the back of the tv which is on the wall and although I managed to get them in it can not stay like that.
But i have accessible connections at the bottom which I can get to, the first 2 pictures are from the tv manual shows how to make the connection so I brought a 4 pole 3.5mm/ 3 phono in the last picture and plugged in but just get lines on the screen and a buz with very low sound of the PS2.
Although the manual shows the tv socket as being a phono it is actually a 3.5 socket like the one on the far right marked HP which is for the headphone.
So what am I doing wrong focers
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - Dudeofrude - 05-01-18
Might sound silly bit have you definitely plugged them into the right colours in the 3 to 1 lead? I've mixed up white and yellow a fair few times in the past ? I have the exactly same set up for my kids nintendo wii and it works fine?
If not I'm sure darrsi will be along soon to solve the issue for you haha

Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - Dudeofrude - 05-01-18
That's the one I have
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 05-01-18
Is your single yellow plug in the tv divided into 4 sections like the black one in my picture
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - Dudeofrude - 05-01-18
Seems to be the same sort of thing you posted?

Unfortunately i know sod all about gaming, or the machines, although if it was in front of me it wouldn’t be so much of an issue.
See if this helps at all, especially noting if there’s a setting in the PS2 to change from RGB to YPbPr, and see if it helps at all?

Thanks for the link seems they were confused also
The YPbPr conections are like this in the manual but the ps2 olny has the 3 YBW
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - darrsi - 05-01-18
Are you sure that’s a mini jack input?
Highly unlikely for a manual to get that wrong, plus it does say “component audio”.
The AV3 description above that is just the channel input.
Also going from a Composite cable (yellow, red, white) straight to a Component input (RGB) doesn’t make any sense to me?
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - darrsi - 05-01-18
YBW or YRW ?
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 05-01-18
Haven actually tried a phono type plug in the socket but the 3.5 jack gos in just like it should if it was correct also you cannot separate out vidio and left and right phono to just 1 phono can you as it only has two connections, the outer metal and the inner male plug ? unless the left and right get put into one as mono and the video gos on its own.
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 05-01-18
YRW
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - darrsi - 05-01-18
Just been informed it’s unlikely the PS2 has Component out......so you’re stuffed.
Sounds like an excuse for a new telly
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 05-01-18
Here are the actual leads and how I am setting them up --connected before you start (Tommy ) - the ps2 is the Y R W with the square plug on the end on the left of the picture
The tv has HDMI - USB Optical, you name it - but the ps 2 only has the cable in the picture. AS I said I can successfully plug the PS2 using YRW phono to phono direct to tv but those connections are at the back of the tv which is mounted on the wall and when the plugs are in they hit the tv mount bracket so I have wedged a block of cardboard behind to take the pressure off.
So am looking at other ways to plug in and then found the info in the manual which is supposed to work.
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - darrsi - 05-01-18
Just for future reference, those mini jack to Video/Audio short cables aren’t actually all wired the same, as i found out at work.
I think it’s Sony ones that are wired differently for their own equipment at the mini jack end.
So basically if you were to have one of these connected to non Sony equipment then you may need to join the wrong colours together, ie: white to yellow, etc, to make them compatible.
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - darrsi - 05-01-18
So the photo only shows composite cables, they won’t work with a component socket at all.
You can buy Composite to HDMI converters, dunno how much they would cost though?
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - Dudeofrude - 05-01-18
I know it's the easy way out but you could just buy one of these?

Plugs into the ps2 then you can just use a standard HDMI cable
