RE: PROBLEMS WITH A REGION FREE DVD FOR MY PS2...

thanks mike for your reply :)

well, i have no idea about rgb/ntsc in general lol.
yes, im using the standard scart from my ps2, but i have tried others; gold ones, all pins, ect.
all to no avail.

what the hell is the difference then between a standard scart and an rgb? how much will an rgb be? are u sure that will solve all my problems?

as for my tv, i have no idea if it accepts rgb/ntsc or not, or if the scart socket will accept rgb signals...

its a few years old and has one scart socket.

(the type of tv i have is a `bush 2063 ntx)

so, if what u say is in fact true, then all ill need until i get a new tv is a rgb scart?

its no good asking ppl who work at these electrical shops as they talk out of there asses and say anything to make u part with ur cash...not one of them has helped me yet:(

PROBLEMS WITH A REGION FREE DVD FOR MY PS2...

i need your help ppl!

i recently purchased a region free dvd for my ps2 (from a make called `blaze` who have a whole range of stuff)

well my region one dvds play, but they are in grainy black and white and i have no idea why.

i got my scart cable and everything set up fine.

the only thing i can think of is that maybe my tv isnt ntsc compatible.

i tried other scarts with more pins and other tvs but to no success.

my ps2 is a `30003r` model, and my tv (a few years old) is a `bush 2063 NTX` i think.

please help!!
