I also need to reply to a couple of posts
Skippernick ----- yes I know they need cutting but they look so nice with red nail varnish

Tommy - Idiot - that picture is the butlers quarters.

This is how the tv is saying to connect component --- again it is showing RCA?phono to the tv but the connection plug is a 3.5 jack

Still strange to me, that is a blatant photo of a phono/RCA connector?

[darrsi]

As hinted earlier, are you sure that right angled RCA plugs won't do the job?
I have a feeling they might do.


Unfortunately i have to go back to work tomorrow, after 16 days off, if i can find some i'll post you them to try out.

I've missed being pissed on, in near freezing weather  :lol

Or you could buy a new TV to suit the cables you have  :lol

User Manual for the LG 55LW550T here:

http://www.lg.com/uk/support/support-pro...g-55LW550T

From the manual there seems to be some ambiguity between the input connections (page12) and the input selection options using the remote control (page 43).

The TV has AV1, AV2, and AV3 connections and a single component connection, but the menu shows only AV1 and AV2 but Component 1 and Component 2.

(the AV signals are, composite video, left audio, right audio, and screen [earth])

Is this what you find in practice? If so, what input selection did you make when testing the composite jack input?

Thats good of you but I already have some 90 degree ones, I have a load of phono type plugs leads and the ones that I used and are in the picture plugged in were the shortest plug/plastic section I could find, I then cut back the plastic anti pul/bend sheath and some of the plug plastic itself so they are actually shorter now than the 90 degree adapters
you can see them here

The manual covers a few tvs that are all slightly different and the input screen in the manual on page 43 is for one of the featured tvs but my input screen is this


AV 3 is the one I am trying to get to work and AV2 is the one with the plugs bouncing off the tv mount I am only on the blue highlighted RGB in thye picture to show that the AV3 is activated because it is in colour and not greyed out.
On the PS2 output I tried both Pb Rr - whatever and The other one and it made no difference.   

[fazersharp]

Although page 12 the manual shows the bottom section of inputs facing to the back they are infact pointing down like this the picture from the manaual below is what I have on my tv

[fazersharp]

This close up of the manual shows the AV 3 input in question and tells me it is aduid/ video and if you follow the arrow around it points to the socket I am using.

[fazersharp]

I have realised that using the Sony av to dvi is a non starter because it uses one the 2 USB connections on the PS2 and I need those for the singstar microphones and a quiz game called buz, we have two sets of buz so 8 people can play and two sets of microphones for sing star

Buz brilliant game, even better when pissed

Thanks- that clears up the TV input selection ambiguity nicely.

As far as I can tell, after reading the TV user manual and PS2 user manual, this is a summary of the position.

(1) The PS2 can output composite video, left audio and right audio signals on the three phono connectors of the PS2 lead.

(2) The TV AV3 jack socket accepts the (1) above signals.

(3) The depiction of a phono plug in the TV manual is simply an error and should show a jack plug.

(4) The TV component input is achieved by by feeding the three component video signals (Y, Pb, Pr) into the right TV jack socket (to supply video to the TV)  A separate cable then feeds left and right audio to the TV composite input (AV3) to provide sound as shown in the TV user manual. This is not relevant to the present exercise but is just to explain the two jack connections on the TV.

The conclusion is that the PS2/TV AV3 connection should work.

I suggest that the best way forward is to establish the video connection first and leave the audio disconnected for the time being.

The composite video input is the yellow connector on the cable that connects to the TV AV3 jack socket, so, (with the jack plug pushed fully home into the TV AV3 jack socket and AV3 input selected on the TV menu) if you could connect each of the signals from the PS2 to the yellow connector in turn and find which one (if any) gives a picture that would be a great help in getting the AV3 input working.

The one that gets anything is PS2 yellow into the TV 3.5 jack white but with the jack fully in - the picture is scrambled 
The only way I get a proper vid signal is PS2 yellow plugged into the TVs 3.5 jack white BUT with the jack plug pulled out by one section as in this picture

stop buggering around and get three of these.

I refer you to reply 67 - already have some

[fazersharp]

Here is some comparison pictures of a standard straight and 90 degree and the one I am actually using and still hits the tv mount I have plugged them into adapters to reproduce them being plugged into to tv socket so you can see side by side.
Yes shortest is the 90 degree but the one I am using is the middle one and I have paired back as much plastic as I dare down to the red mark and as that you can see that it is a lot shorter than a 90 degree adapter. Also the 90 degree adapter has quite a big and solid square block and the one I have paired down is to a thin point

[BBROWN1664]

The final solution then will be to get a new tv bracket that gives more space for cables behind the TV :pokefun
