  Connect the Playstation 2 A/V cable. Your PS2 should come with a standard PS2 A/V cable that can connect to your TV, but if you want to have a higher quality picture you can use a third-party cable. The highest quality A/V cable you can use is a PS2 component A/V cable. Plug the three-pronged end of your A/V cable into the video input on your digital TV. Then, plug the other end of the cable into the A/V output of your PS2.
