PSOne, PS2 or PS3 - can you give a little more info ?

Our UK PS2 works fine as does our Hong Kong bought PS3.

If your in an area that has computer swap meets on the weekend, they always have a couple of stalls where people will chip up your box whilst you wait.

So does my PS1 and PS2, never done anything to them, just plugged the cables in the TV as in the UK and it all worked fine.
Whats all this chipping business???

Are you sure it's not the TV you're playing it though? If it's an older tv you may have to get an Aussie video player to run it all though to get sound and picture.

Why don't ya get ya new fella to do it Mandy, that should be the acid test for him. If he can't fix stuff he's not worth having.

Mmmm!! will have a scout round for some phone leads maybe they didnt get unpacked cos its still not working and apparently all in right place

Usually the lead that plugs into the back of the PS2 has 3 phono plugs on the end of it:

Yellow - Video
White & Red - Audio Left & Right

Should be a case of plugging them into the correct phono sockets on the TV (if the TV only has one audio socket use the white cable). If there all in and it still isnt working and the TV is a cheapo wone you got here, it could be buggered !, the only other way to check is if you have a HIFI with Phono sockets on the back, try the Audio through these (this is what we do cause TV speakers are garbage).

thanks for all the help - there is no audio lead from the playstation so think it cos a cheap tv. will try on main tv tomorrow see if that makes a difference.

You may have to tune into BBC1 and turn the tv upside down.

Or use a UK tv PLUG ( electrical )

Apparently, the tv knows its using pommy electricity !

Trick of the trade

yeah right!!!


Its ok - plugged into main tv and it works fine - must just be the cheap tv in the lads room.
