How to Hook Up a PlayStation 2 to a DTV Converter Box

Sony's enhanced graphic interface is much more intense when coupled with digital TV. Even if you still have your old analog television, you can connect a DTV converter and RF modulator to your PlayStation 2 and improve the screen display. A DTV converter box is easy to install. It converts digital signals into an analog format, making it viewable on your analog TV set.
