PSP - AV Cable Tutorial

The PSP AV cable allows you to connect the PSP to your television. Once connected, you can play PSP games or watch video from the PSP on your television. Two types of AV cables are available for the PSP: composite and component. The composite cable is designed for standard A/V connections (more common on older TVs). The component cable produces a better video signal and is designed for HDTVs. Both cables are only compatible with the PSP Go model.
