So there I was, confronted with the dilemma facing all poor people today -- how to reconcile technology made for cable-ready TVs with a TV which was decidedly cable-unfreindly. In this case, I wanted to hook my PS2 to a tube TV slightly older than God. (In all seriousness, a mid-90s model). Nothing in my huge hamper o' cords, axial cables and connectors fit the bill, so I put down a couple of greenbacks on this adapter. I'm no techno-geek, and I can't talk specs, but I can say that the device did precisely what it was supposed to do -- ran the PS2 through the TV with no difficulty, and thus ended my dilemma. If you are stuck in a similar pickle I can recommend this product. I cannot, however, recommend owning huge, 20 year-old televisions that weigh as much as refrigerators. They suck, and no adapter can fix that.
