On the screen side, you need five RCA inputs including a green, blue and red component trio, often labelled YPbPr or Y\/Cb\/Cr. A SCART input, a single yellow composite AV input or a VGA input will not do.

Plug the connector into the back of the console, then the plugs by colour — watch out for the two red ones, one is the Pr video channel, the other the right audio channel. On PS3, set the video output to Component in the display settings: if the screen stays black after unplugging HDMI, hold the power button for five seconds at start-up to reset the video output.
