It's a fact that many people who have bought PlayStation 2 gaming console neglect to read the instruction manual on how to set-up it up. This is why many first-time users find hard to set it up and how to turn it off. The cables are also questioned. Many people get confused on where to connect the cables and they even suggested that Sony PlayStation 2 should have color coded cables and better labeling to avoid confusion and frustration when setting up the PS2 gaming console.
Unfortunately, Sony won't recall the products they released in the market. So, in order for you to know how to reset the gaming system, you should either read the user manual before setting it up and let it guide you or you can ask advanced PlayStation 2 users on how to reset the PlayStation 2 or put it in stand-by mode.

When properly maintained, you can expect to play with your PS2 for years to come.
