[Archived] Playstation 2 Scart Adapter Thingy

[Robertson]

Heres the situation...

Have got a wall mounted tv with room for only one scart lead to go through the wall channeling. Obviously want to play on the Playstation 2 downstairs and need to hook it up.

Ordinarily would put the scart in the back of the ps2 but it has its own lead as opposed to sky, dvd players etc... where the scart goes direct into back

The scart from the PS2 wont fit up the chanelling.

What I need is some kind of multi scart where I could plug the scart from the ps2 in and the one from the tv, have tried one of those multi scart long bricks and that did not work (presume the scart out on that needs to go direct into tv, did not reach!!)

So some kind of two way device or something that I can plug tv scart into that would then feed directly into the ps2.

Is there anything out there that will work, sorry for complex explanation!

To be honest I had the same set up and used one of those scart bricks which worked for me? Not sure why it wont for you though? They normally have a switch on them - did you check that?

Is your TV HD compatible? A HDMI wire would probably fit, plus the added bonus of quality.

Saying that the brick I got was a bit on the cheap side - might try another, cannot plug the brick in but thought that the two scarts from tv and ps2 would be ok plugged into it.

TV is hd compatible and sure that the lead is there as well, taking up most of the space, will that plug directly into the ps?

HDMI to HDMI (basic type, both ends look same) will work fine, and yes it plugs into the PS3.

Work okay with the playstation 2 though? I should know this by now, only had one for years!!!

Ahh sorry too much drink, thought you said PS3.

PS2 no, PS3 yes.

I guess that is a no, you need to use a scart thing. Sorry for giving you the wrong ideas.

[Flopsy]

have you ensured that all the switches are in the right place (he says after bitter experience of tantrums because the AV thing was switched to the wrong bit)

[Robertson]

Am I right in thinking that one of these bad lads would do a job..

My s video output is on side of tv so easier to hook up and disconnect when I play, no need for scart?
