3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to connect your Rybozen PS2 to HDMI Converter Adapter:

1. Prepare your PS2: Ensure your PlayStation 2 console is powered off.
2. Connect the Converter: Plug the PS2 YPbPr input end of the Rybozen converter directly into the A/V Multi Out port on the back of your PlayStation 2 console.
3. Connect HDMI Cable: Connect one end of an HDMI cable (not included) to the HDMI Output port on the converter and the other end to an available HDMI input on your HDTV, monitor, or projector.
4. Provide Power: Connect the included USB power cable from the converter's USB 5V Input port to an available USB port on your PS2 console. This provides the necessary power for the converter.
5. Configure PS2 Settings (Important):

   Before powering on, it is crucial to configure your PS2's video output settings.
