Now step 1. Put your PS2 in a space that is well ventilated and is fairly close to a television that is intended for your PS2 to be connected to.

Now check your TV for available video inputs. The PS2 has an AV cable this cable is extremely common and should come new with all PS2s with one side a Red, Yellow, and White.

Video is the Yellow. This cable is important that it’s new and works well as any imperfections with this cable can and will affect gameplay.

Now plug the single wend of the AV cable into the back of the PS2 this is easily found as it is on the back and they are two slots it will only fit in one. Now plug the other end of the AV cable so plug the corresponding cable in the back or front of your T.V. These inputs can be found at the back or front of your T.V. Sp plug the Red into the Red and Yellow into the yellow and white into the white.

Plug the AC adapter (Power cable) into the back of the PS2. Now plug the other side of the cord into the wall or extension lead make sure it is a reliable source of power. A red light should appear on the front of the PS2 this is just to say that it has power and is in standby and still receiving power.

Now that the PS2 is fully setup and working set up.

We will now start working on the controllers plug the controller into the controller ports on the front of the PS”. The player one port will always have a controller attached into it as most game requires the one port.

Insert a PS2 memory if one is not supplied the you can buy one at the store you purchased the PS2. Insert the memory card into the card slot above Player one controller slot. Most game requires a memory card as the ps2 doesn’t have a designated hard drive.

Now open a game up and press the open tray button located below the standby button. Once the game is in you will see a screen appear with the game CD picture and the memory card move down a highlight the game CD now press the X button on the controller.

Be sure to make sure you plug your PS2 into a power surge protector, as a power surge can do fatal damage to your console during a lightning storm or an electrical surge. This can be brought at your local power store, Home base or B&Q for example.

Make sure you have your video cords plugged into the correct colours; otherwise your signal may have bad sound along with the picture, or no picture or sound at all.
