    its probably due because of the different television signal. in the U.K and most of Europe + Australia we use the PAL signal whereas America, Japan and most other Asian nations use NTSC.

    your gonna need a T.V that can display both signals

    Yes you are playing a NTSC ps2 on a pal only TV most modern tv's 1996-2006 support both color codes that also means your TV dosent support 60hz because PAL runs at 50hz ntsc runs at 60hz tv;s are pretty cheap now cathorode tube ones are you can pick up a 35cm TV here in Aus for only $89au.

    You also fix it by using an adapter I forgot what it was called now you plug the av's into it then that just plugs into your tv
