GB Connecting to a TV with component video input connectors
If your monitor or projector has component
video input connectors (Y, C
B /P B , C R /P R ),
connect your PlayStation ® 2 console using the
SCPH-10100 G component AV cable (for
PlayStation ® 2) (sold separately). This will
provide the best picture.
Before connecting
If you connect your PlayStation ® 2 console to a
television using the component AV cable
without first setting the “Component Video
Out” option under the System Configuration
menu to “Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr,” the TV screen
might not display properly. Before connecting
your console with the component AV cable,
first use the supplied AV cable (integrated
audio/video) and make sure that the
“Component Video Out” option is set to
“Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr.”
Notes
• The PlayStation ® 2 console is not compatible with
HDTV unless the proper software and connecting
cables are used. Refer to the instruction manual
supplied with your TV for details.
• You must use the component AV cable to view DVD
video in progressive scan. If picture quality is reduced
when using progressive scan, try viewing in normal
(interlace) mode. For details, see “Progressive” on page
22.

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 listed on your warranty card
for technical assistance.
Do not connect your PlayStation ® 2 console
to a projection TV
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, except those of LCD screen types are
more susceptible to this than other types of displays. Do
not operate the console in such a manner that this could
occur. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with
your TV for details.
