So I Fancied Some Retro Action...

...And so I managed to get hold of an old school Playstation 1 console from Ebay for 5.70 pounds. Pretty good going I thought. Recieved it today, and planned to hook it up to a Venturer LCD15DVD-206 my sister gave to me. It's been a while since I hooked up a Playstation 1, but I guessed this screen had everything I needed, but unfortunately i'm not getting anything showing!
I can hear the disk spinning etc in the Playstation so that's all OK. I have the black wire coming out from the Playstation with the box on the end and 2 different sized end things, and this is going into the 'TV Antenna Cable' socket at the side of the screen, is this correct? Does anything need to go into the other 'end'? That's all I remember having to do years ago. This was before all the SCART red, yellow etc wires were introduced.

I've tried cycling through the functions, I have DVD, TV, AV1 (Video In), AV2 (Scart In), YUV and PC. But get nothing on any! Boo hoo.

Just an Idea, don't know if it will work: Would you be able to get a scart cable with one of those special things on the end so it would plug into your PS?

if I remember correctly you may have to use the TV setting and do a manual channel search and assign a channel to the signal from the PS1 when you use the antenna socket, I usually just plug in the rca cables

If i'm understanding correctly Winton, I went onto TV function and cycled BBC1,5,2,3 thats all there was I guess I could give it a try Cutthroat.

Found this: PSX Playstation Scart Cable With AV Connector reviews, ratings, guide - advice and online shopping from NET PC DIRECT

[FastWinston]

no, you have to make a new manual channel search in the options menu, you cannot use the channels already allocated to other frequencies

OK, I have cycled through the 'Program numbers', and am now using 'Auto Tune'? So far all i'm getting is the fuzz thing on every channel.

Select a channel, like Channel 9, then manually tune the tv through all the channels (should take a long time) until you start getting a picture!

[Thalin]

I got it working! It finally found it, you have to love old school tuning It's a little fuzzy/blurred but I guess that's to be expected.

Currently watching the FF8 intro, ah, good times

- OK it's not the fuzziness that's the problem, I think that was just me getting used to old graphics, although the picture keeps fuzzing upwards for a few seconds then back to normal ever 10 seconds or so, if that makes sense. I'm doing another auto search, maybe that might help? Not sure.
