The same way you plug it into a regular tv. Plus the red, white, and yellow cables into the back.

It won’t be high definition if that’s what your hoping cause I believe the PS2 only outputs 480 resolution.

My 52” LCD HDTV is pretty skimpy on the standard A/V inputs, but has 5 HDMI inputs, but you can’t buy an HDMI cable for the PS2 because of the 480 output. But rather than put one more A/V cable on a splitter hooked to my only A/V input, I went out and bought a composite video cable for my PS2, only cost $10, and it sends the signal in 480p, which is twice as sharp as the 480i you’ll get with an A/V cable. Right now I have PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, N64 and Wii all hooked up to my TV. I refrained however from hooking up my Super NES or my original NES to the HDTV because we have a store here in town that sells used video games and they sell old equipment (and new equipment that will play old games), and they have both an NES and a SuperNES hooked up to an HDTV smaller than what I have, and I could live with the SuperNES resolution, but you can barely see what’s going on with the NES…but N64, GameCube, Xbox and PS2 all look fantastic on my big TV.

Yes, it just won’t be in HD.
