Or a new tele and PS4 and HDMI cable.
Its amazing how some threads run and run.

OK. I am now pretty sure that the jack plug, that fits into the AV3 socket on the TV, is not going in far enough (for whatever reason).
It it possible to remove some material carefully from the jack plug and possibly from the surface of the jack socket on the TV so that the jack plug goes in further.
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - stet - 09-01-18
A composite video cable with a longer jack may do the job. Like this:

(I know you also found a cable with a long jack plug, but I think that was for component video)

You’re missing his point, the way his connector is wired is not the same as the PS2, so by pulling the jack out by one section will make it work......sort of.

I am not missing any point. I am quite aware that the colour of the connections between the PS2 and the TV might be a different order, as you have stated on a number of occasions and as I have tried to resolve by requesting various tests.
But the point that you seem to miss is that, the evidence indicates that the four contacts on the jack plug are not making proper contact with all four contacts on the TV jack socket. That, I think is the fundamental issue.

Yes, I think that supports the contacts not lining up theory. Did you see my post #82, about the composite cable with the longer jack?
By the way, for the image to be correct two connections must be correct: 'Composite Video' and 'Screen'.
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 09-01-18
Ok the yellow from the ps2 only gets any vid when connected to the white on the tv side BUT the resulting picture is all broken up NOTE I can push the jack all the way in but when I do the result is broken picture and a loud buz from both speakers.
The photo of the party inserted plug is showing the plug when I have pulled it out and not the fact that it wont go in any further.
I only get a good picture when the plug is pulled out to that position BUT only sound through the right speaker
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - BBROWN1664 - 09-01-18
Looks to me like the TV needs a manufacturer specific cable. Probably cheaper and easier to fit a block of wood behind the tv to give you the space you need or get a new bracket that is slightly further off the wall.

That figures. The video connections might be using one of the audio lines (L or R) as screen (ground) connection. To video, (high frequency) the audio channels (low frequency) could act as a ground, sort of.
A rolling distorted picture could indicate a correct video connection but no screen connection of any sort.
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - stet - 09-01-18
89 posts with this one :eek
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 09-01-18
I am not using oem LG ones and there are "official" LG ones on ebay -etc but the post sections look the same so it must be the ground position along the posts that I am using is different to the lg one. The official lg ones it seems should of been supplied with the tv including a component to 3.5 jack. I have a big box of leads and connectors but not any that supposed to come with the tv. I will get up into Sharp Halls loft and check if they are still sitting in any of the tv/blueray boxes.

OH MY GOD
look what I have just found in the attic
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - stet - 09-01-18
In case you don't know:
The cable on the left is for component video (to connect to the jack socket to the right of the TV AV3 jack socket)
The cable in the middle is for use with component video to give L and R audio (to connect to the AV3 jack socket on the TV)
The cable to the right is a SCART (Euro) adapter (plugs into the SCART socket on the TV)
You could get a SCART to Phono socket adapter and connect the Composite, L audio, and R audio phono plugs from the PS2 into the SCART to Phono adapter.
Re: Focer font of knowledge AV experts - fazersharp - 09-01-18
Well I am (and I am sure that everyone also is) pleased to announce that IT WORKS !!!!!!!!!!!
The proper LG Y W R Composite to 3.5 jack in the middle it looks exactly the same as the ones I have been unsuccessfully testing, the post length is the same and so is each section.
