Checking slots: How to connect Playstation 2

If you want to connect the Playstation 2 to your TV or monitor, the most important thing is which slots the screen has.

• The Playstation 2 is connected to the screen with a composite cable for audio and video. This is a three-part RCA plug with a white, a red and a yellow head.
• Check whether your television or monitor has such an input. The slots are usually on the back or on the side of the device.
• If you have an older TV that only has a Scart connection, you need a suitable adapter.
• You can also redirect the signal to HDMI - however, the corresponding adapters are significantly more expensive.
• In addition to the plug for the image and sound transmission, you also have to plug the power supply of the Playstation 2 into a socket.
• Once the cables are connected, turn on the Playstation and TV. Switch to the correct channel using a button on the TV, such as "Source" or "AV", to get the picture and sound of the Playstation.
