Do you mean "Component Video Out" in the PS2's system menu?
That option switches the video output between YPbPr (component & d-terminal) or RGB (SCART & JP21). Won't affect audio, RF, composite, or s-video.
What I was referring to is called "Digital Out (Optical)". It enables or disables the PS2's TOSLINK socket.
