PS2 on flat screen in black and white

Hello,

I just bought a Philips 5000 series flat screen, 81cm, and I have a big problem!
All my PS2 games and DVDs are in black and white.

The PS2 cable has three jacks: red, white, and yellow, so I bought a SCART adapter because my screen has five jacks: red, blue, green, white, and red.
10 euros wasted, still no colors and even no image at all!

In the Philips screen manual, it says you need a YPbPr + Audio L/R connection kit, but how can I connect it with my PS2 that has three jacks and not five?!

I hope my message is clear because I don't know this topic at all =)
Thanks for your help!!

    When you use this adapter
    you plug it into a Scart socket, okay

    then you select the correct source on the TV?

    You've looked carefully next to the socket, it should be written
    AV1 or AV2
    or EXT1 EXT2

    Here is my adapter that I use with the PS2 cable

    but if I connect the yellow wire to it instead of the green plug on my screen
    I end up with no image at all!

    The adapter is brand new. My TV says "no video signal."
    Any ideas?

    normally you had this with the PS2

    the small adapter that you put at the end of the jack plugs
    and you plug that into one of the scart connectors

    I think I'm going to go harass my neighbors to find a solution ^^'
    Thank you anyway.

    I have a personal Philips LED and I had to switch the PS2 to channel EXT 1 (or AV1 depending on the TV) and connect it to the basic SCART socket to get the colors :)

      La prise péritel est une interface de connexion utilisée principalement pour le transfert de signaux audio et vidéo entre appareils électroniques, comme les téléviseurs, les magnétoscopes et les décodeurs. Elle permet de transmettre des signaux de haute qualité en analogique, et est souvent reconnaissable à sa forme rectangulaire spécifique.

      Same problem, I think we need a SCART adapter.

    I have exactly the same problem as you, Lilou. Have you found a solution? (same TV, same PS2)

    Thanks :)

    yes, that's what I did but nothing works! the only thing that works is when I plug the yellow cable into the green socket of my TV...
    it's incomprehensible.
    I have no desire to play in black and white.

    yes, everything is normally set up properly, that's what is depressing.
    I've heard about RBG or SECAM configuration, is that related?

    I know, but it's the only thing that gives me the picture!
    Otherwise, everything is black with the message "no video signal" as I mentioned earlier.

    Given the price I paid for the TV, one has to keep their spirits up x)

      I had the same problem, you just had to change the power supply with the one you bought, it's probably the AV power supply.

    if it was in black and white on the SCART connection
    it's because it was poorly connected

    either behind the TV
    or behind the PS2
    or even both.

    why are you talking to me about an adapter
    I'm just telling you that if the image is in black and white

    it's because a connector is not making contact
    so it's poorly fitted

    behind your TV
    or on the PS2

    push it all the way in

    Well, I'm pushing to the max... but nothing works! T_T

    (Nothing to do with it, but I'm a huge fan of Rossi ^^)

    well, can you find me a picture of your adapter
    I don't really get it

    you don't even need it
    if you have what I showed you earlier

    I don't think so

    you know that the chain for connecting with the green plug
    and the connection with the adapter is not the same

    that's why I'm asking you if you're choosing the right one
