No. Just use a component cable or similar
To connect the PS3 to a HDTV you need an HDMI cable if your HDTV has an HDMI connection, if it doesn't you need a PS3 component cable.
If your PC has an HDMI port and the connector is the same as that used on a PS3, then it should work correctly.
HDMI cables can be bought at almost any electronics store. Any HDMI cable will work with your PS3, but Sony does sell an official HDMI cable. However, this official cable costs 60 US Dollars, which may be well out of the price range for many PS3 owners.
No you can use the A/V cable that came with the PS3. HDMI or a PS3 Component Cable is required for HD
Yes. The HDMI cord or HDMI plug at the PS3 end in the A/v cable allows the PS3 to have Audio and Video. How can you say a PS3 is working without Audio and Video
You need an HDTV for it to work and the TV has to have an HDMI connection. Then you need to turn your HDTV to the location for the HDMI that was connected
I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync. When it works right putting a disc into the PS3 will turn on the HDTV and also switch the HDTV over to that HDMI input rather than a cable box or similar item even if it was on the cable box when you last used the HDTV.
Connecting the PS3 to a HDTV with HDMI inputs is best rather than only good when using an HDMI cable. It allows a single cable to easily connect with an excellent connection and only a single plug and also allows a sync between the two devices. When I put a disc in the PS3 the TV turns on and switches to the PS3 from my Cable box. If the TV is already on it switches the HDTV from cable over to the PS3 and back when I turn off the PS3. The PS3 HDMI cable sold by Sony is a good quality cable and support all the features of the PS3, namely HDMI 1.4A with 3D video. It is also cheaper than some other HDMI cables that are sold in the TV area of most consumer electronics stores. When I purchased by HDMI cable at Walmart that store was out of the PS3 HDMI cable and I purchased the Sony Flat HDMI cable for a little more. Most named brand cables work fine and you should never pay full retail for a HDMI cable. You do not have to purchase a PS3 cable and many of the other Sony cables work fine. Currently Walmart has the Sony HDMI Cable w/ USB Cable Pack (PS3) for $34.97 and it is the same price as just the Sony 6.5' HDMI Cable (PS3) and without the extra charging cable
In order for the PS3 to work best on a HDTV you need to have or purchase either an HDMI or a component AV cable and connect the PS3 to the HDTV. The PS3 will play on a HDTV when it is connected with the AV cable that was provided, but it will not be in HD
The AV cable that comes with the PS3 is not for HDTV set up. You need to purchased a HDMI cable or a Sony PS3 component cable and then it should work.
take your hdmi cable and plug one end into the hdmi port in the back of the ps3 and the other end into your TV.
HDMI gives a potentially higher signal quality than component video - but whether you will get higher picture quality depends on the quality of your input signal. Blu ray needs HDMI, but anything at 720i or lower will get by on component.
