Sony Bravia tv won't play old consoles? Help!

[sgt.bludhound]

Ok I have a Sony Bravia tv 32" if that matters. The thing is my ps2 won't play on the tv, and I recently accquired a dreamcast which doesn't work as well, I connected it to the video 2 outlet red white yellow, and nothing.. Any help would be appreciated

Try video 1. I think video 2 is just for component cables.

The thing is there is no video 1, on the video 2 there is the outlet for rwy cables, yet it doesn't show on my tv, I just get a no signal, the other outlets on my tv are for component cables, rgb...

When you push the input button on your remote, what options are shown?

Tv, video 2, video1(not bold, but I tried from the menu option) component1 &2, hdmi1,2,3, and pc. I have the dreamcast connected to the side of the tv the only area that can take red yellow and white cables, tried video 1 and 2 still says "no signal"

have you tried like a dvd player or vcr to see if those work. ive got an older bravia and mine has zero issues. im only using one set of jacks for my games though. I have them all on a selector switch so i just put it on video 1 and then press the system button.

I forgot to mention that it's a LCD flat panel tv.

Aren't a lot of old consoles rendered in 480i or 240p and some tvs have trouble rendering that?

I'm thinking I should get a rf switch? Idk

Model # on the Bravia. I have a NX810 and both the Dreamcast and Wii (480i) work fine.
