Help - First time with a PVM, how do I connect retro consoles to it?

hey

im from EU, I will a pickup a small PVM ( SONY PVM-6041 QM ) in next few days, it has component + sync.

meaning my cables are RGB by default, but without that sync cable,

im wondering what would be ideal cable to use to get the best quality out of it, I was originally thinking in getting this cable , and then using rgb to scart that came with my ps2 originally.

later I was aware that I could use BNC adapter to RGB, but what about sync? i just leave it, and only connect the 3 cables?

Consoles that I will probably use with it: PS2/1, N64, Gamecube, NES, SNES

thanks in advance

PS: I now I could go for a regular crt tv , since they would have that rgb, but i need something as small as this pvm, for my setup, since I dont have much room for something bigger than that pvm.

​

EDIT:

alright guys thank u soo much to everyone especially u/gaz61279 u/Jolly_Ad122 u/Telaneo I now understand that the rgb that I mention before wasnt really rgb but in reality component + stereo audio.

Based on that heres what ive came with :

- Main cable to connect to PVM

- PS2 scart cable and PS1 as well, correct me if im wrong

- Gamecube scart cable , SNES and N64 can use the same one?

- But Nes which cable to use?
