Activate Progressive Scan by holding the × and △ keys together when the game boots up. There is no confirmation menu. These cables are widely used and available in the market. But what do they do exactly? All you know is if you hook them up, you can play your VCR, CDs, and DVDs on your TV. How does that happen? Well, all that you will find out in this article. The old PS2 DOES NOT support Progressive Scan - neither does PAL X-boxes or PAL Gamecubes Progressive Scan is an NTSC standard and not PAL. The last fat PS2s and the slim ones do support Progressive Scan but only a few of the games, Tekken 4 (not 5) for example. The RFU Adapter (SCPH-1122) is an RF Modulator and cable that carries mono audio and video at 576i/50Hz (PAL) or 480i/60Hz (NTSC) via an RF signal and connects using a TV aerial plug. [10] It is similar to the RFU adapter cable available for the PlayStation.

The PS2 headset connects via USB 1.1 on the front of the console. The headset is most commonly used in online multiplayer games; however, it can also be used in some karaoke style games, for voice control, and to enhance the immersive experience of some single player games. [18] Headphone Splitter [ edit ] The 3.5mm Audio Stereo Y Splitter can transfer audio from the PlayStation 2 into two output devices, including headphones, headset, and speakers. I have recently got my hands on a fat PS2 (SCPH-30004) meant to be thrown away which I repaired and it works just fine, and it's the only actual PS2 I own right now. Just one thing, I get no audio out from the Analog port. I have it connected to a LED TV via an already owned component cable (YPbPr) which I have successfully tested with 2 or 3 other -slim- PS2s. So, if it's not the TV or the cable it must be the console, right? I can still have audio out through the optical out into my Z-5500 speakers, no problem, but not through the red-white stereo cables, while video signal (red-green-blue plugs) is just fine. Could it be a burnt on board circuit fault? How would I go about testing/repairing for the sake of completeness? HD Retrovision component cable + Retroscaler 2x + Marseille mClassic upscaler... this is getting expensive!!!: the mClassic takes the 480p output from the Retroscaler and upscales it to 1080p, adding a soft filter on top of it. The result is still pretty bad. The difference isn't huge, but it's the best picture out of all these setups. Honestly, for this usage scenario, the mClassic is NOT worth it. I know it can't work any magic with a 480p source, but it shouldn't be marketed as a good option for sub-HD consoles. Hey, at least, it doesn't add any lag. However if you want any progressive output from your PS2, component is the only real way to go. RGB(i.e VGA) is possible but somewhat problematic - official cables are hard to find, unofficial solutions are... well... *unofficial* (and so support might be patchy, not all games work, etc.)This adapter converts the male 9-pin mini-DIN connector on the Genesis YPbPr cable to a male Saturn 10-pin mini-DIN connector. 

DVD discs are masterd in component. No mater what signal is feed to your TV it is converted to RGB. In my testing, there isn’t a “best” model PS2 to use, as all seem to output the same quality video and audio. There’s talk that some models are more reliable than others, but overall there’s only a few models to outright avoid, all “slim” models:Insert a game. Press the Eject button on the front of the PlayStation 2 to either eject the tray (fat PS2) or pop open the lid (slim PS2). Place the game on the tray or place it onto the spindle. Push the slim lid closed, or push the Eject button again on the fat PlayStation 2 to close the tray. I have tried MANY solutions to use a PS2 on modern TVs and monitors. Hope this helps. It doesn't look good. On certain PS2 Games that are dance pad compatible allows the player to follow alongside on the game actions as the player must perform, they are usually found on games such as, Dance Dance Revolution games.

Uses the vert- method, meaning the top and bottom of the 4:3 image are actually cropped, meaning less visible viewing area than when played in 4:3.

Some 480p capable RGB monitors can accept a RGsB signal, simply by toggling the external sync button off when RGsB is enabled. Many (if not all) Sony monitors that support 480p have this option. The D-Terminal cable is identical to the component cable other than its connector. It was sold only in Japan and uses the Japanese D-Terminal standard.
