Features Separate Left And Right Audio Plugs For Connection To An Amplifier Or Hi-fi
if it helps, I have a 20L5 and over 30 consoles and here's what I did.
The reason for the two is I split everything into 2 categories
All RGB SCART consoles are being handled by a 'gscartsw' (scart switcher)
All Component consoles are being handled by a an 'Extron Matrix 300' (multi format switcher) get one cheap on eBay
When you're ready to handle the audio now let me know and will tackle that!
**edit forgot to add, some sellers market PS1/PS2 RGB SCART Cables as the same or interchangeable but they are not. They will either have no resistors, 400ohm resistors or 1000ohm resistors. The PS1 needs resistance but the PS2 does not since it is built into the console. So:
Check the descriptions of the cables for this info or ask the maker if it's not printed.
Official Sony cables are overpriced IMO, at least here in Canada, likely due to Supply & Demand with them being discontinued most likely:

I can get the PS2 to HDMI converter linked for less than the official cables, $39.49: https://www.amazon.ca/Panlong-Converter-Adapter-Output-Monitor/dp/B00D875R5K
These. Marketed for PS3 but they work just fine on PS1/2. I use them for my PS2.
EDIT: Are these the 10100 you listed? Missed them in the pictures first time. Looks like you have them loose.
PS3 component cables.
My friend and I both love old school 16-bit games, and we decided we'd like to display said love on our walls. We took a bunch of screenshots of images we wanted with emulators, but pixel art can look pretty bad in its raw form (no scanlines, no proper dithering, everything is just too clean). And r/photoshop revealed to me that to get a proper CRT effect is pretty much impossible without buying and photographing an actual CRT TV. So I bought one. We're serious about pixels.
The only problem is the TV has no HDMI inputs, and HDMI cables are all I have. Getting these posters or banners or whatever we turn our photos into is not going to change anyone's lives, but we'll both have scratched our obsessive gamer itch.
TL;DR nerds demand to see pixels the way the '90s intended.
You want this for your PS3.
The PS3 should hook up to the TV just fine. 720p/1080i will look good on a TV that size. The TV looks to be 4:3 so you should get the bars. I think the PS3 comes with standard RCA cables so you might need to purchase some component cables as well.
I personally have no experience with a PS3 on a 4:3 set but I found this which is interesting and would sway me from going the that route if I could help it. PS3 4:3
See if that's an issue you're willing to deal with assuming this TV has that problem.
How does this one look? Would you recommend this one in particular? It also says it'd work on the PS2.
Yes, 5 prong (2 audio, 3 video) is called component. You can get component cables for everything ps2 and beyond, and you can get s-video for everything snes and beyond. The gamecube component cable is ridiculously expensive and requires an earlier model gamecube, but the s-video cable is easy to get (ebay and amazon have them; just remember that snes, n64 and gamecube use the same cable). Ps2 component is easy to get - amazon has the official one for 18ish and monoprice has theirs for 4.50
The HDCP is hard coded into the HDMI output and the only way to assuredly record from the PS3 that I've seen is using a PS3 component cable. You can probably find off brands that will work just fine.
Unfortunately for you, you have the Elgato HD60 which only has HDMI inputs. A casual search yields nothing for me as far as converting Component to HDMI, and I doubt a reliable one exists that is inexpensive. The standard Elgato HD comes with a Component input cable for use with older consoles.
If your TV does indeed do 1024x768 then you should be fine with it.
You should be fine at standard-defintion resolutions (480 vertical pixels) using the yellow (composite) cable that comes with the console, but a component cable should give a sharper picture even on standard-definition (depending on your TV and the quality of your eyesight) and will take full advantage of the resolution of a 1024x768 telly.
If you're buying a new telly soon, then maybe see if you can get away with the yellow composite cable for a while, because any new TV will have an HDMI cable, and that will give a better picture (depending the TV and your eyesight) than component. The HDMI cable will be a bit cheaper, and you'd always choose it over component.
I'm not aware of any gameplay differences between the two consoles. Someone said in another post that the E3 demo units were 360s, so that was what the early development must have been done on, so the title must be better and more "native" to that console. Personally, I don't think it makes any difference.
I have a PS3 (and I actually bought a new PS3 for Rocksmith) and I think it's a better console, from a hardware point of view - I've had my PS3 for over 4 years and it's still going great. Early models of the 360 had a terrible failure rate and I still think of it as a "cheap" console; however the latest slim models look like they've fixed these problems, and they're a fair chunk cheaper than the PS3. I kinda feel like the 360 is less cost, if you just want to see if you get along with Rocksmith.
My copy of Rocksmith hasn't arrived yet, but it's a bargain compared to the cost of guitar lessons. If it works even reasonably well then buying a console to play it on is still a bargain compared to, say, 10 or 20 hours of lessons.
Well the official Sony component cables are going for $80, so I don't really see how $20 is 'overpriced'. They were the only cables around that price that I could find that gave perfect image quality.
Which cables do you recommend?
