How to Connect a PS3 to an HD TV

• Answer:

  The PlayStation 3 (PS3) is a high-definition gaming console with multimedia capabilities. In addition to playing PS3 games, the PS3 can also play Blu-Ray discs, stream audio and video via its Media Center and play media files from USB flash drives or memory cards. Because most of the media presented on the PS3 is in high definition (HD), using an HD connection (such as component or HDMI) ensures that you get the most out of the PS3's HD graphical capabilities. Connecting the PS3 to an HDTV isn't more difficult (or different) than connecting it to a standard definition TV. Difficulty: Easy Things You'll Need Component cable HDMI cable Instructions Component Turn off the PS3. Disconnect any previous PS3 video connections from the HDTV. Connect the single-sided, square end of the component AV cable into the "AV Multi Out" port on the back of the PS3. Notice how the component AV cable has 5 colored prongs. Three are together and two are separated. The separated prongs (red and white) are the audio composite cables and are smaller than the component prongs. Do not confuse the red audio prong with the red component prong. Connect the green prong on the component cable into the green component port on the HDTV. Connect the blue prong on the component cable into the blue component port on the HDTV. Connect the red prong on the component cable into the red component port on the HDTV. Connect the red composite prong on the component cable into the red AV port on the HDTV. Connect the white composite prong on the component cable into the white AV port on the HDTV. Set the HDTV to its component video display setting. Turn on the PS3. After a few seconds, the PS3 logo will appear. HDMI Turn off the PS3. Disconnect any previous PS3 video connections from the HDTV. Connect one side of the HDMI cable into the "HDMI" port on the back of the PS3 and connect the opposite side into the "HDMI" port on the HDTV. Set the HDTV to its HDMI video display setting. Turn on the PS3. After a few seconds, the PS3 logo will appear. The PS3 will detect the HDMI connection. Select "Yes" to use the optimal HDMI setting. Select "Yes" when asked if you want to automatically switch to the setting when using HDMI. Select "Yes" to confirm the settings.
