If you hold down the power button for 5-6 seconds (until you hear the second beep), the PS3 should reset the display res to the default.

I'm not sure if the PS2 has a similar function or not though.

no a PS2 doesnt have the same function. we have just plugged the pins straight in but play it on an av channel.

Marley says that you should scrap the idea of going through the Scart, and plug the Composite cables directly into the television (using the composite inputs on the side of the TV rather than the back).

DEBTMONKEY1A's TV doesn't have composite inputs unfortunately. (Unless I've looked up the wrong TV.)

Thanks so much!

2 things...scrilla the link for the cable shows about 5 pins-myPS2 has a yellow, red & white??!

Also....I do have red/yellow/white INPUT holes on side of TV (above headphone jack)...the manual doesn't really show this (ulness I'm looking in wrong place?).

Could I follow the technique you've said, scrilla & THEN plug directly to TV....or do I still need the lead? Assume this lead just plugs into the back of the tv? Any idea which socket to use?

Thanks agian-this is all way over my head so the help appreciated.

With regards to the cable, the part that goes into the PS2 is the black part. The other 5 go into the TV. This cable is preferred for HDTV as it will allow your PS2 to output a higher image quality (not HD standard mind you, but better than standard definition).

I'm getting a bit confused myself about your cables now. Does your cable look like this:



Hold fire on that idea though - you may not need a new cable. I've just seen something else in the manual now that you've said your have red/yellow/white inputs on the side of your TV: Try your SCART connection again. Then refer to page 39 of your manual which tells you how to tell your TV your signal will be from the red/yellow/white inputs (composite input). You do not need to change settings on your PS2 for this. Let me know how that goes.

When I looked at the manual (unless I looked at the wrong one), there was a side diagram on p19 that showed composite inputs.

Scrilla-yes-thats the cable. 3 not 5 pins. Will have a look at the manual-thanks again!

Thanks Tigsteroonie! I didn't see that. You're right in what you say about simply using those to connect. Since they don't seem to work (as per the OPs original post) I suggest the SCART method in my previous post. Failing that, component cables may be the solution.

I am struggling to figure out why the composite cables don't work when plugged in directly

Hi-noticed this actually for a few days! NO SCART1/2 displays at all in settings menu! Have searched all other settings & can't find it. It should be above automatic power down. Nowhere to be seen. Now I am confused! Might have to ring the Toshiba Helpline tomorrow.

Anyone any idea on my 'missing' scart option in set up????

Bump bump! Will try & turn regaza link off (links scats, audio etc)...if not Toshiba helpline (!)
