Thread: Display Mode Y Cb Cr or RGB? - PlayStation 2 - PlayStation.com Forums

On my PS2 under Display Settings there are 2 options. Y Cb Cr and RGB. Which option is the best when using the compsite cables?

I would use standard, however, if you upgrade to the component cables, then you will have to set it to Y Cb Cr, or it won't display sound or image. The same may go for the composite, they may not display anything if you set the display method to Y Cb Cr. Hope that helped ^.^
