what cables should i be using if hooking up a dvd player and a ps2? thanx im new to all this and dont know the difference between a lot of this stuff like s video vs compent and what not.
What are you using for a display? What inputs are available on it.
Are you using an A/V receiver for switching audio/video?
What DVD player are you using? And what outputs does it have.
PS2 questions I'll leave for the gamers :)
A DVI connector looks more like something you would use on your computer.
Component connections would have Red, Blue and Green RCA connections.
A S-video uses a mini-din type connector.
Composite video has a Yellow RCA connector.
Analog audio connections have a Red and White RCAs.
Digital audio coax has an orange RCA connector.
Digital audio optical has a little square connector that is rounded on one side.
You can check the FAQs, there is connector information there.
