If you've hooked up your PS2 with the wrong cables (or accidentally switch modes) and aren't getting video,
you can switch from one video mode to other using these steps.

1. Boot the console without a disk.
2. Wait for 20-30 seconds so the main menu loads up.
3. Press down once ( :dir down: ).
4. Press X ( :but x: ).
5. Press down three times ( :dir down: :dir down: :dir down: ).
6. Press press left or right once ( :dir left: or :dir right: ).
7. Press X ( :but x: ).

You should now have switched from RGB (composite) to YPBPR (component) or vice-versa.

That's nifty I did this one time but blindly navigated through the menu to get back. Haven't seen a PS2 in a while but I'm sure someone will find this useful.
