About this item
It carries the video signal across three separate channels (Y, Pb, Pr) instead of one, delivering a dramatically sharper and cleaner picture with richer colours and no colour bleeding.
Two additional RCA plugs carry left and right stereo audio independently from the video signal.
On the PlayStation 2, component video unlocks progressive scan (480p) in supported games, and a handful of titles even support 1080i output. On the PlayStation 3, the cable supports resolutions up to 1080p full HD. The PlayStation AV Multi Out connector plugs into the back of the console and the five colour-coded RCA plugs connect to your TV's component video (YPbPr) and stereo audio inputs.
PS2 Setup Tip: To use this cable on a PS2, go to System Configuration (boot without a disc) and set "Component Video Out" to "Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr". This only needs to be done once.
Not sure this is the right video cable? This is the component (YPbPr) cable for the PS2, PS2 Slim, PS3 and PS3 Slim — five plugs, and a clear step up from composite: up to 480p on PS2 and 1080p on PS3. Your TV needs green/blue/red component inputs. If your TV only has the single yellow video input, you need the composite AV cable instead. Neither fits the PS4 or PS5, which are HDMI only.
Complete your setup
Missing an external power supply for an SCPH-700xx–790xx PS2 Slim? See our 8.5 V PS2 Slim power supply. Check the model; it is not for PS1, PS3, fat PS2 or SCPH-900xx Slim.
TV has HDMI inputs but no component input? Compare our PlayStation HDMI converter and HDMI-cable bundle. It replaces this component lead and uses the console composite signal; picture detail will differ. Do not plug component video into a composite converter.
Choose only what your setup needs. Linked items are sold separately.
