How to Use an AV to Hook Up a PSP to a TV

The Sony PSP was released in 2005, but it was not able to be connected to an external display. Sony subsequently released the PSP Slim, which had a video-out port on the side of the PSP. Now you can comfortably sit and play your PSP while enjoying the visuals on your home TV screen.
