Title: DvD Playback
Post by: Ktm520 on August 14, 2001, 05:35:53 PM

I have my ps2 hooked up to my vcr and the picture gets darker then lighter and keeps goin back and fourth. I heard that you have to hook the ps2 up to the tv for the picture to work regular. Does anyone now if I buy the  monster s for the ps2 and hook it up to my vcr will the picture image still get darker and lighter? If so does anyone now which is the best picture quality ps2 cable to buy to hook up to the tv? Thanx for reading. Please write back.

yea it macro vision protection but there are ways to get round, you need a little box of tricks you can buy on the net if your in the uk i wll send ya a link were to buy such a device by the way if you use an older vid recorder the chances are better for no macro detection hope this helps

cheers freehand.

I actually read somewhere that if you have certain older model VCR\'s you can play \'em, like Bob does. I don\'t recall exactly which models it was, I don\'t have the information on this computer (iMac). I\'ll have to go over and check the 2K machine later and find out that information. Still, that could be why you can play \'em thru your VCR Bobby.
