So, while "A/V" is a broader term for audio-visual connections, "RCA" usually refers to that specific, color-coded connector type for composite A/V signals, especially on older devices like DVD players or game consoles.

To tell if a PS3 is PS2 compatible, look for the "Fat" models with four USB ports and a chrome/silver trim on the front flap that reveals memory card slots (CECHA/C models) or just four USB ports (CECHB models), as these have the actual PS2 hardware. Later "Fat" models (CECHE/G/etc.) and all Slim/Super Slim PS3s lack the hardware and rely on less reliable software emulation (or none at all for Slim/Super Slim), so check for the hardware indicators first.
