There are several ways that you can connect your PlayStation 2 to your TV or receiver, depending on the inputs available. Different inputs will provide different levels of image quality. Inputs are typically found on the back of the TV, though they may be found on the side or the front as well.   Composite/Stereo AV - This is the most common way to connect a PlayStation 2 to a TV, receiver, or VCR. Composite cables have three plugs: Yellow (Video) and Red and White (Audio). This cable comes packaged with all new PlayStation 2 models. Newer HDTVs may not support this connection.  Component/YCbCr - This is the best way to connect a PlayStation 2 to modern TVs, as most HDTVs have these inputs. Component cables also provide the best possible picture quality for the PlayStation 2. Component cables have five plugs: Red, Blue and Green (Video) and Red and White (Audio). Component cables do not come packaged with the PlayStation 2. If purchasing a component cable, make sure that it is PlayStation 2 compatible with the PlayStation 2 plug on one end.  S-Video - This input is not very common on newer TVs. It will provide a better picture than composite cables, but not as good as component cables. The S-Video plug is typically yellow and has pins instead of a standard AV plug. The PlayStation 2 S-Video cable has the S-Video plug as well as the Red and White audio plugs.  RF - This is the worst way to connect a PlayStation 2 to a TV or VCR, as it has the blurriest picture quality. RF connects through the TV or VCR's coaxial input (the same input you would use for an old cable box or antenna). Avoid this method of connection unless you have no other options. If you bought your PlayStation 2 new, there should be a composite cable packed in the box. If you need a different cable, you'll have to order it from Sony or buy one online at a store like Amazon. Make sure that you get the PlayStation 2 version of the cable you want to use, as the PlayStation 2 requires a special plug on one end of the cable. PlayStation 2 video cables will work for all PlayStation 2 models. Make sure you place it in a location that has plenty of open area so that the PlayStation 2 doesn't collect too much heat. Avoid stacking it above or below other electronic devices. If you have the stand, you can setup your PlayStation 2 vertically so that it takes up less space. Make sure that it's close enough so that the video and the power cables don't have to stretch to reach the TV and outlet. All PlayStation 2 video cables connect to the same port on the back of the PlayStation 2. The video port is located in the bottom-right corner of back of the fat PlayStation 2s, and on the right side of the back of the slim PlayStation 2s, next to the power connector. The port is labeled "AV MULTI OUT". Make note of the input that you are connecting to, as this will allow you to find the correct input when you turn on your TV. Match the colors of the plugs with the colors on the inputs.  The audio connection (Red and White) may be offset from the video inputs on the TV. If your TV only supports mono sound, just use the White audio plug. When connecting component cables, you'll likely have two Red plugs. One of these is video and the other is audio. If you lay out the component cable flat, the order of plugs should be Red, Blue, Green (Video set), White, Red (Audio set). If your TV only has component connectors, but you only have a composite cable, you may still be able to connect the two. Plug the Red and White audio cables as normal, and try plugging the Yellow plug into the Green connector. If this ends up resulting in a black-and-white image, try plugging the Yellow plug into either the Blue or the other Red connector. If you're in Europe, you may need the Euro-AV connector, which will allow you to plug the composite cable into your TV's SCART socket. This connector comes packaged with new European PS2 models. If you have a 5.1 surround sound system, you'll need to connect the Digital Out (Optical) audio port on the PS2 to the receiver using a TOSLINK cable. This is only required if you want 5.1 surround sound and have the necessary equipment. You can find the Digital Out (Optical) port next to the video port on the back of the PlayStation 2. The fat PS2 and the slim PlayStation 2 have different power cables. To connect the fat PS2, plug the "figure-eight" side of the power cable into the back of the PlayStation 2, and then plug it into the wall or a power strip. For slim PS2s, connect the power cable to the yellow "DC IN" jack on the back of the PlayStation 2, connect the power brick, and then plug the entire cable into the wall or power strip. Make sure that the cable has some slack so that it isn't straining the connection. Some PS2 games have online functionality, and you'll need to connect your PlayStation 2 to your home network via Ethernet to take advantage of this. The slim PS2 has a built-in Ethernet adapter, but the fat PlayStation 2 requires a network adapter add-on.  You won't be setting up your network on a system level. Instead, individual games will handle the network settings when you attempt to connect. Many PS2 games that had online multiplayer no longer function online, as servers have long been shut down.
