How to Hook a PlayStation 2 Through the Satellite Box

If you have a lot of devices plugged into your television set, connecting a PlayStation 2 may require some creativity. One solution, if you have run out of available inputs for your television, is plugging in your game console to your satellite box and playing it through the device. If your satellite box has an RCA input connection, you can connect your PlayStation 2 to the device and start enjoying your games.

Things You'll Need

Satellite box with RCA input
AV Multi Out cord

  Find the RCA input connection on the back of your satellite box. These are three round holes colored red, yellow and white. Plug the flat end of the AV Multi Out cord, which comes with the PlayStation 2, into the game console. Plug each of the colored ends of the cord into the corresponding colored holes on the back of the satellite box. Make sure that both ends of the connection are secure and pushed all the way in.

  Change your television input to "Satellite" with your remote control. Turn the power switch to "On" on the back of the PlayStation 2 console and press the Eject button on the front. Insert a game disc into the console and press the Eject button again to close the tray. The game should load and be ready to play, while getting a video and audio feed through the satellite box. If no picture appears on the screen, press the Aux button on the satellite box to see the game.
