Well, if the system that you are showing has an optical input on the back, you need a cord (aprox. $50.00).  Becasue the PS2 has an opptical output thing.  So, I guess as long as it has an optical input and that you have the cord, it\'ll work.

On the back of the PS2 it has a thing on there that says Digital out (optical).  
Look on the back of the System and see if it says anything about digital, or optical.

How are you buying this?  Can you not just ask who you are buying it from if it has an optical input?

Any stereo system can support PS2..  That doesn\'t mean poop.  You need to know if it has Optical digital inputs or not.  If they can\'t answer that question then why would you buy from them.  And if they don\'t return emails when you want to make a purchase, God forbid trying to contact them if something is wrong with the system.  

I would suggest finding something you like in the stores and then searching the net for a better deal if you want to go that route.

This is odd.

The description for the DTT2500, which is the system pictured in the first post, says it supports PS2, but under "More Information" it only says it has a coaxial input.  Of course, since they say in the description that it supports PS2 they may assume you know it has an optical and so they just don\'t put it in the "More Information" section.

The DTT3500 system (notice, 3500, not 2500) does have an optical input specifically mentioned in the description.  So that one certainly does support the PS2.

Bah, just save up $200 more and get the Kenwood HTB-503 at Circuit City (or online from somewhere), it\'s a really good "Home Theater in a Box" system with every connection you\'ll ever need on the receiver and it certainly will sound better then those little multimedia speakers. Not to say the speakers in the Kenwood are the greatest, the center is far from the best thing on the planet, but the worst of those speakers will be better than all of the speakers in the cambridge system.  In fact, the subwoofer in the Kenwood system is a bargain at the price for the whole system.

Yeah, that goes along with what I was saying before.  Every system is PS2 compatible.  You can always use the analog audio outputs.  Just a little misrepresentation.

But if you use the analog outputs you wont get 5.1 surround sound. You need to use the optical output to get 5.1 surround
