AV Multi (AVマルチ, "AV maruchi") is a Sony proprietary standard multi connector for connecting audio-visual equipment together. It is used on Japanese market multichannel AV amplifier, on high-end 2000s TVs (WEGA, BRAVIA, etc.) and on the whole PlayStation series video game consoles.

Output signal

It allows various video signal output from standard NTSC/PAL (480i/576i) to Full HD (1080p), using a Component video or D-Terminal connector, but it is limited to analog stereo sound (2.0ch).

An AV Multi cable can carry the following signals simultaneously:
*Composite video
*S-Video
*RGB
*Component video
*Stereophonic sound (two analog channels)

Connector modifications

Additional video connector

Due to technical limitations some third party manufacturers have added external custom modification to the AV Multi connector. Game developer and peripherals maker Namco first added a CINCH connector on the AV Multi to allow the use of its GunCon Light gun on the original PlayStation.

Video signal switch

Later due to the lack of Sync-on-green on the PlayStation 2 video game console/DVD player, peripherals makers like Madrics have added a "Game/DVD" switch to the AV Multi connector in order to allow correct display of DVD Video while using RGB signal with an AV Multi-SCART (21 pin) cable instead of getting a green colored screen (as on non-switch enabled cables). Switching to "Game" outputs RGB signal on games and a composite signal (CVBS) on DVD-Video playback and vice versa when switching to "DVD" mode.

Dual purpose modification

Some of these switch modified AV Multi cables also feature the additional RCA connector to be used with the GunCon. [ [http://madrics.welike2play.com/index.php?selection=showcase&submenu=3&cat=2000&code=21305&lang=en Madrics' RGB SCART w/switch] ]
