RCA to HDMI Adapter on Roku TV

We are having a 90s/Y2K themed party at my job, so I brought in my PS2 to play. I’m trying to get it connected via an HDMI to RCA adapter, but when I click on the HDMI 1 output on the Roku tv (where the HDMI end of the adapter is plugged into) it’s saying no connection.

The adapter is the MINI HDMI2AV Upscaler 1080P. It has a slider for both PAL and NTSC.

I’ve used the adapter before to hook up a newer laptop to an older tv and it worked great. Not sure why it’s not even connecting going the other way. Do I just have that switch set on the wrong thing?

The PS2 itself is on and functioning fine.

    If I'm following, the PS2 has RCA outputs and you're trying to connect it to the HDMI input of the TV?  If so, you need and AV/RCA to HDMI.  It sounds like you have the opposite and most don't go both ways.

    Hi liam76

    We had the same problem with are SNES, and bought a analog TV, which worked much better. Don't know if this was any help 😕 , but we hope it was.

    Best wishes, Murphyty
