1.0 out of 5 stars Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr Does NOT Equal Y Pb Pr, July 3, 2008

This review is from: Intec Component AV Cable PS2 (Video Game)

Component video cables for the PS2 are supposed to be hooked up to TVs that have Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr connections. Many newer TVs (like the ones I have) have Y Pb Pr connections. They LOOK the same. The manuals say that they're for component video. But there is one crucial difference. The Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr PS2 video output doesn't work in a Y Pb Pr TV! They mention this in the fine print of the PS2 manual but, as I found to my sorrow, it's easy to overlook.

Before you buy this (or any other) component video cable to hook your PS2 up with your HDTV check the connections on the HDTV. If it's Y Pb Pr it probably won't work.

Just to be clear, I DID change the video output of the PS2 from RGB to Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr before connecting the cable to the TV. Did not work (on two different HDTVs that have Y Pb Pr connections)

The cable itself doesn't deserve a "1" rating. I'm almost sure that if you have a HDTV with Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr connections you'll love this cable. I just wish I could test it myself...

If you can't use component cables, S-Video works pretty well. You're much better off with S-Video than composite!

5.0 out of 5 stars it's a cable!!!!!, April 27, 2007

This review is from: Intec Component AV Cable PS2 (Video Game)

When I bought my new LCD TV it only had 1 S-Video slot, which went to my GameCube because Nintendo deemed it necessary to discontinue making systems with Component ports. In order to play whatever games I want without constant plugging / unplugging, I decided it was time to get a PS2 component cable.

I stumbled across this one and found it to be the cheapest option, and since it's just a cable I purchased it.

Overall I have been satisfied with its performance and have experienced no problems with it whatsoever. If you're in my situation where you're buying a PS2 component cable out of necessity, look no further as this is by far the cheapest option you'll find.

To the people experiencing problems, check your PS2 system settings to see that you switched your PS2 video options from RGB to Y/Cb/Cr.

3.0 out of 5 stars Issues with PS1 games played through PS2, November 13, 2009

This cable works great when playing actual PS2 games on my PS2. With my new HDtv, I put in FFX and was horrified by how bad it looked going through the normal composite cables that come with the PS2. But with these, it looks, downright beautiful. Gone are the scan lines and the muddied colors stretched to fit, and i am very happy with the results.

But the PS2 is backwards compatible, and i enjoy a lot of PS1 games still, sadly, with this cable connected I can't get past the menus of any PS1 game. I've gone through and tried every combination of settings I could find but they all just stop after the initial Sony of America etc. screens. So keep that in mind if you intend to play a lot of PS1 games, because as it stands my PS2 Slim is now a PS2 only machine.
