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
our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669.

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 for your TV.

Static image caution
Static, non-moving images, such as DVD menus,
configuration displays, or images “paused” 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.
