PlayStation®2 70000 Series / Installation

Installing Using an A/V Cable

To install your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system with an A/V cable (integrated audio/video):

  1. Connect the cables

    Connect the flat end of the A/V cable to the A/V MULTI OUT connector on the back of your PlayStation®2.


  • Connect the plugs on the other end of the A/V cable to the audio and video inputs on the back of your TV or VCR, matching colors. (If you will be using your PlayStation®2 to watch DVDs, connect the A/V cable to the VCR instead of the TV for best results.) If there is no red input on your TV or VCR, let the red plug dangle.

    Make sure the connections are secure.

    NOTE: Some TV inputs are not color-coded correctly, if this is the case, plug the yellow plug into the VIDEO IN input, the white plug into the AUDIO IN Left input, and the red plug into the AUDIO IN Right input. If there is no input for the red plug, let it dangle.



  • Connect the AC adaptor to the AC power cord, then connect the other end of the AC adaptor to the back of the PlayStation®2 system.


  • Plug the AC power cord into a working electrical outlet.


  1. Start the system

    Press the on/standby/RESET button on the front of the PlayStation® 2 system. Make sure the indicator light turns green.


  • Press the open button on the front of the system and place a disc in the disc tray. Press down gently on the disc until all three tabs on the disc holder are above the surface of the disc. Then press the "PUSH" label on the disc cover to close it.


  1. Set up the TV

    Turn on your TV.


  • Press the TV/Video button on your TV�s remote control. The TV/Video button might also be called the Input, AUX, or Line button on your remote. Use the setting you would if you were going to watch a movie.

    For information about these settings specific to the manufacturer of your TV or VCR, please see A/V settings for your TV or VCR.
