First, you must have component cable from PS2 to your TV (not RCA cable)and second your game must support 480p, remember not all the games out there support 480p (it tells you at the back of the game case), good luck
I have an older PS2 (the one with the noisy fan) and just got a new 720p LCD 40" Samsung. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the best set up for maximizing the quality of output. I am running the regular RCA video output from PS2 to TV via the Receiver.
Thanks for any input.
