Component AV Audio Video Cable for PS3 PS2

Works on y pb pr input. Troubleshoot as follows if no image.1. Make sure PS2 setting is changed from RGB to the component input option.2. Change tv input from composite to component (if it needs to be manually changed)3. turn OFF (not sleep with the red light but switched off/unplugged) and turn back on.The last one stumped me until I read it in another review.

Good cables!

This thing just comes in a plastic bag - the sticker on said bag has a barcode and reads simply, "Component A/V Cable for Playstation 2 - NEW". There's no company logo on the actual plug either; just the arrow on the top that shows you which side should be facing the top when you plug it into the PS2. While Amazon mentions the distributor, I have no idea who actually manufactures this thing. It says nothing of substance, which is unfortunate because this IS NOT plug-and-play, so to speak.Here are the super-simple instructions it SHOULD have. You must first boot up your PS2 with the normal A/V cables without a disc in (or with the disc tray open), and go to 'System Configuration', than change your 'Component Video Out' settings from RGB to Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr. Now turn it off, plug in the Component Cable, turn it back on and go to the "Component" Video Mode on your HDTV - the PS2 picture will be coming in clear as a bell (that's a saying, right?) Why couldn't this have said that - just the slightest piece of paper with this crucial information!? Whoever made this is a lazy, suspicious manufacturer...BUT IT WORKS! IT WORKS SO WELL! So I don't know why they're acting like they have some shoddy product worth hiding! PS2 games no longer look "blurry" or "fuzzy" on my HDTV, no ghosting or any other image issue that they previously had. They look as sharp as, or sharper than, anything else from that generation - the Dreamcast/Gamecube/Wii/Xbox1. If you've downloaded PS2 games from the "Playstation Classics" portion of the PSN on your PS3, than it's a very similar quality of visuals. It's a MARKED improvement over how things look traditionally. So I highly recommend the cable - this thing gets the job done, for sure, and it's super cheap.The PS2 library is LEGENDARY - this is serious contender for best console of all time, along with the PSX and SNES, so if you want to enjoy your games on modern TV's, you have to pick this up. Not to mention, picking up older games from the massive library is a great solution if you're looking to game on the cheap, or miss genres that are badly supported on newer consoles, like jrpgs. This is a game-changer; it pulls the PS2 kicking-and-screaming back into the living room along with any other console plugged into your HDTV, all the way up the PS4.But it needs instructions - you gotta know what you're doing first. And you also better make sure you pay attention to the plug; it doesn't seem to quite want to fit in the PS2 at first and needs some gentle shoving (make sure the side with the arrow is pointed up, like the RGB cable already in your PS2!). It seems suspicious, but it's not, and it works really well. Can't 5-star it though, since it's so weirdly presented like a shoddy product.

I am very glad I got this! If you want your Playstation 2 games to look their best, then you should definitely look into getting these! Provided you have a TV that has support for component video. If you're dying to play some old school Playstation 2 classics on your modern HDTV but are turned off by the dated, blurry look of composite video, then this cable is definitely the way to go!You have the three standard video jacks which are coloured Red, Green, and Blue along with the audio jacks which are coloured Red and White. This is the reason for the two Red jacks, which might be confusing for some. Also, the cable is a little difficult to stick into the PS2, but once it's in there, it's pretty secure and takes a pretty good amount of force to pull out. So there's almost no chance that it'll accidentally come loose. Another thing is while the cable itself may be inexpensive, it does NOT feel cheap. it feels like a very high quality cable the likes of Sony would probably release themselves. The only downside is that this cable is shorter than the original composite cable.Once you have everything plugged in, if you've put everything in their rightful places, you will be greeted with the standard PS2 bootup screen. If it's not already set for component video, you'll want to head into System Configuration before starting any games and make sure you set the PS2 on Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr instead of RGB. After that, you can begin playing your games! Images look much sharper and more colourful compared to the standard Red, White, and Yellow A/V cable. Especially on modern TVs.The whole thing makes your games look much better, although you might have to finagle with game options before you get around to playing anything. I've only tested out a few games so far and I've noticed quite a few of the early PS2 titles look quite dated. That said, if you don't mind your old games looking...well, old, then I highly recommend picking up this cable! You can't go wrong!
