Connection of Playstation to Digital TV




By nigelf1234 on Jun 01, 2008

" "
My daughter has just bought herself a Digital TV (wharfedale) and Ihave been trying to connect it up for her. It is complex because shehas a conventional video recorder (VHS tape), a DVD player and a SonyPlaystation. It is further complicated by the TV only having one SCARTsocket.
What I have so far is
Aerial lead into video and then out to TV.
Scart lead from DVD player to TV
I tried scart from DVD to video and then video to TV, but it seemedconfused with this & DVD seems to be only one it plays.
Itried to connect the playstation via a special switch into the aeriallead, but the TV doesn't seem to tune to it. THe TV also works onfrequency, not channels, so I have no idea what frequency to tune itto.
The TV also has S-Video, VGA, HDMI and YPbPr inputs and I wondered if one of these might work with the Playsation.
Sorry for complicated question & I hope someone has some suggestions. Many thanks in advance

I would suggest using antenna(aerial connector) into vcr and out to tv. This will allow you to watch vcr on ch. 3 or 4. Then hookup dvd or game system to component input which is ypbpr . However my personal opinion is that regular audio/video cables purchased at a hardware store for 10 bucks will work about as well as a 100 dollar set of gaming cables. Then use the remaining s-video input for whatever is left. Making sure to use a set of a/v cables for sound along with it. After all is in place, simply change tv input to the source you'd like to use. Hope this helps, Russmann.

Hello,

for PS2 /3 please use the YPbPr inputs. Here is the link for the cable: http://www.sourcingmap.com/4in1-component-ypbpr-video-cable-for-ps23-wii-xbox360-p-10240.html
