I've finally got around to hooking of the playstation to my TV. It appears that I'm not getting any output. I've tried attaching the PS to both the TV and the VCR video and audio inputs. For the TV, I needs one of those Game/TV switches (circa 1990 Atari). What's the likelihood I've a) broken the PS b) received a busted PS or c) my TV and VCR are not compatible? I've never hooked up a PS, it can't be this difficult, right (heck, I haven't even played a video game since the Atari died back in the early '80's). All I can get is static. Just to make sure I'm not being stupid, here are a few assumption I made, a) I don't need the PS to be hooked up to a computer just to see if the PS boots, b) the boot CD and access card are all I need to install (besides hooking to a TV) or c) even a 10 year old TV should work. What do you think? Mark mark@nombas.com
