I'm almost certain all PS2 models (SCEA,SCEE,SCEI) only output composite for DVD playback. The best possible DVD output you can get(on PS2) is via the s-video cable. This applies to all territories! If you use a scart cable the DVD playback will be green. This isn't a bug, it was for protection so people don't record DVD onto video tapes. It really is a shame because most people in Europe use scart RGB to get the best possible picture. Most T.V.'s in North America and Japan don't have this feature so they just rely on composite signal. If only they knew what they are missing!! Note! All PS2's come included with a composite cable not scart or s-video.
