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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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
