    On the XMB, go to Connect Display Settings, then Switch Video OutPut.

    Yup. The video comes out of the TV out port next to the headphone socket. You need to get Sony's composite PSP cable.

    This is what it looks like.

    Glad you found it. 

     

    One thing to know before you rush out and buy one is that you have to have a PSP-3000 in order to play games on your SDTV using this cable. The 1000 and 2000 will only let you watch UMD movies and videos, since they both need the component cable and an HDTV in order to play games on the big screen.

    Yeah i have 3000 And i made sure i could play games because the label " enjoy movies, photos, and music" 

     

    Well thanks alot I can play on my TV now

     


    I feel like such a n00b for returning my set of composite cables. I believed the packaging instead of trusting what I read online from other 3000 owners >.< 

     

    Glad to finally get my confirmation, thanks. Sorry for digging up the old topic. You can thank the search feature for that.

    Good luck finding this composite cable in stores as I've been trying for a long time but only found component cables which is what I'm using.  I've gone to alot of stores trying to find this version as the component cables are only 6 to 8 feet long.

    Get your Portable ID! Where is the Blood?.
    Where is the Power?.
    Where is the Blood to feed the Power.
    For without Blood there is no Power.
    Where is my Power?.
    My Power is with the Blood of Souls,
    Flowing like a river into my veins giving me my Power.
    I will not lose my Power until my Soul looses me
