PS2 Connection to AV amp >> HELP!

[leehaynes]

Hi,

I've just put my home cinema setup together and i only get sound from the PS2 and no picture.

I have a sony STR DB790 AV amp and have the PS2 connected with the standard lead (less the scart adapter) red and white plugs for sound and the yellow plug into video. These are all in the VIDEO 1 row (in the top row of connections.

I have attached a pic of the back of the amp and hope someone can help.

Im guessing you have also attached a Monitor out cable somewhere along the line to your TV

 

[leehaynes]

yes, sorry, i have s-video monitor out.

perhaps the S-video lead for PS2 would be better.......alsoif AMP doesnt do video conversion the composite system wont work....

Certainly my amp wont up-convert Comp. to Svideo so this will never work.

It would be better to use SVideo from the PS2 anyway because of the quality difference.

what about if i had a ps2 component video lead (rgb), what would be the chances of this working?

 

[hornydragon]

if you had comonet lead for PS2 you would need to use a component cable to screen from AMP (this is ideal) alkso AMP can switch 2 component inputs so can use this for DVD too..... for best PQ (what TV are you using? does it have component inputs?)

 

[leehaynes]

no, just scart and s-video. It's a Toshiba 32" widescreen.

Thanks for the advice though. I think i'll have to buy a PS2 S-video lead - that should work shouldn't it as then there woiuldn't be any conversion?

 

[hornydragon]

Yeah should be fine mate S-video all the way.................
