Note about bouncing effect
Some TVs or monitors may experience a bouncing effect
in their pictures when using the PlayStation

or the way it is manufactured. The problem technically
lies within the television. If you encounter such a
problem with your television/monitor, please call the
PlayStation

components: yellow (video) to yellow, red (right audio) to red and white (left audio) to white.
After connecting
Set your TV to the appropriate video input mode. Refer to the instruction manual for your TV.
