Note about bouncing effect
Some TVs or monitors may experience a bouncing effect
in their pictures when using the PlayStation
®2 console.
There is nothing wrong with the PlayStation
®2 console
or the way it is manufactured. The problem technically
lies within the television. If you encounter such a
problem with your television/monitor, please contact
the appropriate PlayStation
® customer service helpline
which can be found:
- on the customer registration card;
- within every PlayStation
® and PlayStation®2 format
software manual.
This section explains the connecting method for listening to sound through your TV speakers.
If you wish to connect to audio equipment with digital connectors, see “Connecting digital audio
equipment” on page 6.
Connecting to a TV with audio/video input
Connect your PlayStation
®
2 computer entertainment system to the TV using the supplied AV Cable
(integrated audio/video).
When connecting the cords, be sure to match the colour-coded cords to the appropriate jacks on the
equipment: 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 for your TV.
When connecting to a wide-screen TV (16:9 aspect ratio)
Set “Screen Size” in the System Configuration menu to “16:9.” For details on the System
Configuration menu, see page 7.
If your TV is monaural
Do not connect the red plug. If you want to hear both left and right sounds from a monaural TV, use a commercially available
dual phono to single phono (stereo to monaural) type audio cable (sold separately).

Connecting to a VCR
Connect your PlayStation
®

If your VCR is monaural, do not connect the

However, when playing a DVD video, do not
connect the console to a VCR. If you do, picture
quality may be reduced. Connect the console
directly to the TV.
After connecting
Set your TV and VCR adjustments
appropriately. Refer to the instruction manuals
for your TV and VCR.
Connect your PlayStation
®
2 console to the
S VIDEO input connector on the TV using the

Set your TV to the appropriate video input
mode (such as “S VIDEO”).

Static image caution
Static, non-moving images, such as DVD menus,
configuration displays or paused images may leave a
faint image permanently on the TV screen if left on for
extended periods of time.
Projection TVs are more susceptible to this than other
types of displays. Do not operate the console in such a
manner that this could occur.
