Connecting your console to a TV set
You can connect the PlayStation 2 console to most TVs or VCRs using the supplied AV cable
®
(integrated audio/video) as described below. The console can also be connected to other types of TVs
using specialized cables and adaptors, which are sold separately. For details, see the following
sections:
•Connecting to a TV with an S VIDEO input connector (this page)
•Connecting to a TV with an antenna input (this page)
•Connecting to a TV with component video input connectors (page 10)
The instructions in the above sections assume audio output through TV speakers.
Caution
For safety reasons, turn off the console and remove the power plug from the electrical outlet before making or adjusting
connections.
Note
If the picture quality is reduced when using progressive scan with a TV that supports progressive scan, try viewing in
standard interlace mode. For details on progressive mode, see "Progressive" on page 25.
Connecting to a TV with audio/video inputs
Connect your PlayStation 2 console to the TV using the supplied AV cable (integrated audio/video).
®
When connecting, match the color-coded cords to the appropriate jacks on the components: yellow
(video) to yellow, red (right audio) to red and white (left audio) to white.
After connecting
Set your TV to the appropriate video input mode. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your
TV for details.

Configuration menu, see pages 11-12.
If your TV is monaural
