A slightly mis-leading title there.

Basically, I got my PS2 today and I can't get a picture.

Now I'm not usually too good with electrical items but not being able to plug in a games console is just embarassing.

I have a DVD and a VCR and I have tried plugging it in through both of those as well as just staright to the TV and I can't get it to work.

It's getting very annoying.

I don't have any games but I have ordered Devil May Cry and Gran Turismo 3 and I am heading down to comet tomorrow morning to pick up a copy of Tekken Tag Tournament.

I'M VERY ANNOYED THOUGH!!!

I have 2 demo discs to play at the moment but I can't bloody play them!!!

You don't 'tune in' the red yellow and white wires. On your TV somewhere there should be an AV button (or something like that).
On my TV, the scart socket is AV1, the red green and white cables are AV2, and the second scart is AV3.

Have you tried looking for these channels. You don't just tune it in like the TV channels. It should be just a press of one button. If you're not sure, look in your TV manual.

Hope this helps.

Well I have no idea what coxeal is but the scart lead doesn't come with it so I am using those AV things that came with it.

The 3 wires - red, yellow and white.

I'm trying to tune it in but I just can't get it.
