Title: PS2 help Post by: DaveShoelace on October 07, 2008, 09:01:32 AM My missus bought a PS2 yesterday and it only displays in black and white.
It has three colour coded outputs but my TV, which is a relativley new HD one, doesnt have the same coloured ports. Any ideas? It sucks destroying her at Tekken in black and white Title: Re: PS2 help Post by: lazaroonie on October 07, 2008, 09:04:39 AM i am guessing that the three colour coded outputs are red white and yellow, and your tv has red green and blue ?

Erm, dont suppose you know how to do that do you? Can you change that via the remote control or do i piss around round the back of it? I cant find anything on the TV menu Title: Re: PS2 help Post by: bhoywonder on October 07, 2008, 09:43:58 AM Should be through ur remote m8.just a thought,i had a similar prob years ago.maybe change the ps2 settings.either/or
Title: Re: PS2 help Post by: lazaroonie on October 07, 2008, 09:54:31 AM been a while since I looked at a ps2, but what you have is a composite cable and you are trying to plug it into a component video socket(s). this wont work. even if it did the picture quality would be quite poor.
was there no scart cable in the box ? if this is the only cable shipped with the ps2 these days I would make a trip to maplin or somewhere and get something like this : http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/6122886/PS2-2m-Gold-Plated-Scart-Cable/Product.html?cm_mmc=Froogle-_-Electronics-_-Scart++S-_-PS2%2B(Playstation%2B2)%2B2m%2BGold%2BPlated%2BScart%2BCable&source=5065&engine=froogle_electronics&keyword=PS2+(Playstation+2)+2m+Gold+Plated+Scart+Cable or for a better picture, get one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Playstation-Ps2-Component-Cable-Lead/dp/B000OY1SDU Title: Re: PS2 help Post by: dik9 on October 07, 2008, 11:15:17 AM A PS2 Barry?

Title: Re: PS2 help Post by: weller001 on October 10, 2008, 06:35:36 PM was either the PS2 or TV bought in the US?
if you try and use PAL (european standard) on a U.S (NSTSC) it will come out black and white. maybe check if the ps2 is using nstsc setting.
