Preparation

Caution

If you display a still image on a plasma or projection* TV screen for an extended

period of time, "ghosting" may occur. This is a characteristic of these types of

TVs. Static, non-moving images, such as console setting menus, DVD menus or

paused images, may leave a faint image permanently on the TV screen if left on

for an extended time. Refer to the instructions supplied with your TV for details.

Hint

When playing a DVD, connect the console to the TV directly. If the video signal

from the console is coming through a VCR to the TV, copy protection on some

DVDs may affect picture quality.

Picture quality varies depending on the type of cable used. Use the

information below to determine the best connection method.

If you use a cable other than the supplied AV cable, refer to the instructions

supplied with the cable.

Hints

• To use progressive scan, you must have a TV and software that support progressive

scan (480p) and you must connect using the appropriate type of cable*. You must

also check that the console settings are correct. For details, see "Progressive" in

"Setting TV display options" ( page 24).

• This product is compatible for use with component video inputs (Y CB/PBCR/PR),

but cannot be used with inputs in HDTV format (Y PBPR). Refer to the instructions

supplied with your TV for details.

6Connecting digital audio equipment

By using a commercially available optical digital cable to connect digital

audio equipment, you can enjoy surround sound with the effect of being in

a movie theater or a concert hall. When connecting the console to audio

equipment with digital connectors, refer to the instructions supplied with

the device to be connected.

Hints

• If you connect the console to audio equipment using an optical digital cable, it may

affect the audio output of some PlayStation®2 format software with the result that

no sound is produced. If this happens, use a cable such as the supplied AV cable

and connect it to the console's AV MULTI OUT connector. Do not use an optical

digital cable.

• After connecting digital audio equipment, set "Digital Out (Optical)" to "On" in the

System Configuration menu. For details, see "Digital Out (Optical)" ( page 31).

1Insert the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) into a controller

port of the console.
