I'm trying to set up a PS2

ravenguy2000 · 12-10-2004, 03:17 PM

I see three cords I have to plug into the back of the tv (a white one, a red one, and a yellow one) but only two holes. Do I need an adapter or something?

Yes, one that you can plug the red and white ones into that turns into one plug. It's cleverly called a Y-adapter.

Edit: shit nm
I read that wrong.

You can still plug in the yellow/white ones, but you'll only get mono sound. Like my tv :/

what colours are the holes?

The White one doubles as a monural/left channel so plug that one into the sound input.

Ann Ominous · 12-10-2004, 03:22 PM

put it in the brown hole.

Hmm. Ok. So I have another TV but has all sorts of shit plugged into it. Like we have an entire home theatre system hooked up. Its really heavy but I'm assuming if I turn it around then those three holes are probably already taken up by something else, right? I dont' want to fuck anything up back there, there's all sorts of cords and stuff.

Oh, ok. The holes aren't colored so I just figured this TV was made before someone thought to color code them.

So I put the white one in one of them and the which other one do I put in there?

the inputs in the back of your tv are probably yellow and white. Plug the yellow (video) into yellow and the white (audio) into the white. It will work fine. Dont worry about a Y Adaptor.

the two holes can either be video (yellow) and mono sound (either black, white or red) or just stereo sound (black or white and red). you probably need a manual to check what those holes are for.
edit: if you have one of those ports you can get an adapter from the three cables to this

Ok so once I get the cords in there correctly it has to be on a certain channel, right?

Esty · 12-10-2004, 03:38 PM

Didn't you get instructions with the PS2?

It came in the mail. It was sent to us by mistake and we've sat on it for 6 months and haven't heard anything from the owner so we decided to fire it up now.

Video 1 setting.
Or channel 00 depending on the tv.

ravenguy2000 · 12-10-2004, 03:44 PM

Ok, when I'm plugging the cords in they aren't going in *snug* so I'm thinking there's just something fucked up about this TV. I'll try to see what i can do with the other one.
