Gamers- help me!
im trying to hook up my playstation2 to my girlfriends big screen TV. its a sony, with surround sound and has the control box under neath it with a DVD player built into it, its all pretty new.
ive tried hooking it into pretty much every port, on the tv- front and rear, and also in the video one / two on the control box. ive tried using the auxilery functions and the video one / two function on the control box.
why is it that i can get sound from the playstation, but not video ??
im sure the playstation 2 works just fine... just used it at my house.
does anyone have any advice / info ??
thanks

yeah, i realize that id might as well be explaining this to an amish person, because there are so many options here and you obviously cant see it. ive tried hooking it into the front video 2 input on the front of the TV, then turning the tv itself to auxilery, no luck, and to also turn the control box to video 2, no luck... now im starting to think i have an extra cord that came with the playstation laying around somewhere or with the original box it came in.
ive also tried hooking the 3 wires into every input in the back of the tv

There are only two wires from the PS2. On certain TV's you have to hit the aux. button a few times to switch through the different ports that the TV has. I'd recommend going straight through the TV.

get a svideo wire and hook it up that way, you get better picture from it too.
if you plugged it right into the tv it should work, are their input for the plugs on the front of the tv? those are the easiest.
