What Cables do I Need for a PlayStation 2?

 






PlayStation 2



Sony Computer Entertainment developed and sold PlayStation 2, also called PS2, as a gaming console. It was released on 4th March 2000 in Japan, 26th October 2000 in America,24th November 2000 in Europe and 30th November in Australia. It is both the successor to the original PlayStation and the second console in the PlayStation series. It competed with Sega's Dreamcast, Nintendo's GameCube, and Microsoft’s Xbox as a 6th generation system. 

It was released at a key moment in the gaming industry. The PlayStation, which competed against the cartridge-based Nintendo 64, was the first console to use CDs for its games. By the time of the PS2, DVDs had become much more popular, and processing power had increased dramatically, allowing for larger games with far more visually pleasing graphics. For the supply of energy, a PlayStation Power cable is produced. 

Cables needed for PlayStation 2



A/V Cables

Various A/V cables for the PlayStation 2 have been released, with differing levels of picture quality. The PS2 also has a TOSLINK port, allowing digital S/PDIF audio - 2-channel LPCM, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital, and 5.1-channel DTS - to be produced (the latter two are only available during DVD playback when it is encoded on the disk). 

All PlayStation and PlayStation 3 cables that use AV-multi connection are compatible with PS2.

RFU Adapter

(SCPH-1122) RFU Adapter is an RF Modulator that carries video at 576i/50 Hz (PAL) or 480i/60 Hz (NTSC) and mono audio through an RF signal and is connected to the TV via an aerial plug. It works in the same way as the RFU adapter cable designed for the PS2.

AV (Composite) Cable

 A PS2 set also includes an AV cable (SCPH-10500) that transmits dual-channel (stereo) audio and composite video at 576i/50 Hz (PAL) or 480i/60 Hz (NTSC) (NTSC). It is the same composite cable that comes with PS1 and PS3In PAL areas, a composite/stereo SCART adaptor block is included with the console to ease connection to SCART-enabled televisions. This is just an adapter; it doesn't increase the quality of a straight composite connection.

S-Video Cable

The S-Video cable (SCPH-10060U/97030) gives a sharper picture than the normal AV cables by carrying s-video at 576i/50 Hz (PAL) or 480i/60 Hz (NTSC) and dual-channel (stereo) audio.

EURO AV (RGB SCART) Cable

(SCPH-10142) EURO AV Cable is a SCART cable that carries RGB signals at 576i/50 Hz or 480i/60 Hz and composite video and as well as stereo audio. Its picture quality is superior to that of s-video or composite signals. 480p and 1080i signals can be handled by Euro AV Cables; it does so by switching to RGsB instead of RGBs (RGB Sync) (RGB sync on green). Certain monitors and even SCART to HDMI upscale may have compatibility concerns as a result of this. In order to use the EURO AV cable, the PS2 must be set to RGB mode.

Component AV cable

The SCPH-10490 Component AV Cable can carry 576i/50 Hz or 480i/60 Hz video utilizing the YPBPR and RGB standards, and also the standard stereo audio via RCA connectors. Its picture quality is superior to that of s-video or composite signals. It's also essential for games that support other video modes like "progressive scan" (480p) or 1080i. Usually most PS1 games output at 240p over the cable, which might as well cause some issues in modern TVs. In order to use Component AV cable, we must set the PS2 to YPBPR mode in the settings.

D-Terminal cable

Except for the connector, a D-Terminal cable is similar to the component cable. It was exclusively available in Japan and adheres to the D-Terminal standard.

Conclusion

From the above-mentioned cables, we learned that in order to use PS2 various cables are utilized such as A/V Cables, Component Cables, as well as many other cables. For better functionality, speed and better visual experience these cables are used.
