Maybe there is someone here with an ideas brighter than mine. I'm
trying to hook up my Playstation 2 to my 5 year old Trinitron via
s-video. Despite trying a number of cables, whenever I'm playing DVDs,
the video signal will intermittently be lost for a second or two at a
time (displays a black "video" screen). The audio continues smoothly.
After a decent amount of research I figured out that this is
apparently due to a known incompatibility between some trinitron/wega
models and the PS2. The running theory seems to be something along the
lines of when the PS2 is playing very dark scenes the TV interprets
them as no signal. Though I've found many people talking about having
this problem (search google groups for "vega ps2 dvd s-video" for
examples) I haven't found any solutions. The closest was a suggestion
to set y-dc to 0 in the service menu of the TV(that didn't work). I'm
hoping that someone can come up with an idea that would make this
work. Everything plays fine if I use the composite video cables, but
of course I'd prefer to use s-video (no component on this model).
Thanks in advance for any help.
