i wake up on christmas day with a ps2 i get the cable lead out and that cable will not fit in my bedroom TV.
i go to the ps2 instruction manuel.
Section connecting to a tv with aerial input.
it sais use a scph-10072 b rfu adaptor (sold separately).
this cant be right think of all the kids waking up christmas day having to waight for tomorow to buy an extra cable.
Solution.i phone my friend he tells me to use the old playstation cable (ps1) i cant believe it it works.
so dont go giving your ps1 away because ur getting a ps2

Your TV probably does playback NTSC, but only through a proper RGB SCART cable. The composite supplied doesn't support NTSC.

My mate has his PS2 hooked up to his 22" monitor and the picture quality isnt even as good as the composite cable. The picture looks funny, it maybe ok to him but after using the PS2 with RGB, I wouldnt want to use it. The good thing is that with games with the black boarders, he can re-adjust the picture to get rid of them.

i was glad that sony gave a phono lead wit scart adapter as my tv is our old one from our lounge.
although i think the quality is pretty good for an oldish tv i would like an RGB cable for when i wire it up downstairs as we have a Sony vega widscreen (sweeeeeeeeeet).

Bad thing is now though is i want to play my US dvd's on my telly using the PS2 but it won't do NTSC but i found a converter that is only £15 :).
Oh and GTA3 looks so muffin nice on my 24" 4:3 TV :)

Yeah, I thought that might be it.

The RGB cables that say "No Green DVD playback" have a switch that switches the picture to composite. I suppose its easier than switching leads.
I remember that my mate had a PS1 on a stero TV and used a RF cable and it was mono sound. He then got a scart and it was stereo. So thats what I based my post on. While I was writing it I thought that through a TV aerial you can get stereo, so why not on a console. Maybe my mate had stereo through his RF and he didnt notice it.

WRONG! RF is stereo too.
A quick run-down in order of quality:
RF - A crime against technology. Only use this cable with your PS2 if you are physically forced to with a gun at your head. Utterly appalling quality.
Composite (that came with your PS2) - Much better quality than the RF but you still get minor ghosting, colour differences and slightly fuzzy edges. Good enough if that's all you can afford.
S-Video - This will only work with expensive tellies and it's the highest quality you''ll get for DVD, without using a modified anti green screen RGB SCART cable. The quality is very high, but it's more suited to transmissions than CGI.
RGB SCART - "It don't get much hotter than this folks!" Ultimate perfection, as it defines each pixel's RGB value individually. Top class, and a real must if you can afford the measly £7. However, it won't play DVDs unless you use an unofficial anti green screen cable, but that might just switch it to composite, I'm not sure.

RF through a scart lead ? errrrrm no.
check out this site for a list of the signals on each pin of a scart socket. no RF, just rgb video signals

Composite gives your stereo sound while RF is only mono.
I thought the aerial connection was about equal to the composite scart. The scart when you strip it down is just audio, with an aerial lead put together in a little box. Its just a fancy way of putting the RF lead into your tv.
