+===== Playstation 1 + 2 AV Pinout =====
+The Playstation AV Multi Out connector has everything you'll ever need for connecting it to the machine of your choice, except RF and Component.
-^Pin^Name^Description|
+The Playstation 2 uses the same connector, except that the RGB lines double as component-video.  Switching between the two is handled in the system menu.

+Note: You must add a 220uf capacitor in each of the RGB lines (+ towards console) to get an acceptable picture. If you don't, the picture will be too dark and you won't like it!!
+Note: You will need to use an [[LM1881]] or similar circuit to strip the sync from the video line.
+The Playstation 2 can do VGA through this port, however it is software controlled, and since there aren't enough pins for H+V Sync, it uses Sync-On-Green, which not all monitors support.
+----
+For reference, here's the pinout I use to connect all my systems to my monitors. A single common pinout means I don't need a seperate monitor cable for each system.
+FIXME: This page could use new pictures.
