Hdmi carries audio and video. You will have to connect every component to the receiver that you wish to have the audio portion routed to your surround sound or stereo system. As for the picture you can route from the component straight to the TV if you are only using the TV as a monitor. You will still have to get the audio to the receiver or just use the TV speakers. I had some concerns about loosing picture quality by making an extra connection at the receiver before going to the TV so since I had the ports available and my components did not favor one signal over the other I went from the components straight to the TV and use optic cables for the audio to the receiver. If you have one long and one short HDMI cable try routing component to receiver to TV then try going straight from the component to the TV and see if you notice a difference in the picture. The easiest connection is route everything through the receiver. If price is the issue Monster cable is only one of the best. You can get the same quality for less than half the cost.

How do hook up HDMI cable to PS3?

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.


Your sony flat screen was working fine with your PS3 but now when you turn your PS3 on it says no signal What is wrong?

It is your TV that is saying no signal and not the PS3. When it happens to me it is when the TV is not switched to the correct source. For me this is when the HDTV is still at the PS3 source of HDMI or HDMI-3 plug and not the cable HDMI plug or HDMI-1. It can also happen when you purchase a cheap HDMI cable that stops working or when something is just disconnected from either end of the PS3 A/V or HDMI cable

Do you have to have an HDMI cable to have HD on your PS3 or can you connect it into the HDMI component on my TV?

Yes with Propriatary Sony Component Cables. Here's a Link. http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802600 PS3 has a HDMI output that can take the PS3 HDMI combo A/V cable that comes with the console when purchased and is used for standard 480 TVs or you can use an optional PS3 Component and HDMI cable or a HDMI cable with the HDMI plug on both ends. So on every PS3 cable one end has a HDMI plug that goes into the PS3 and the other end of the cable has different connections including one optional cable with S-Video on the other end.


How do you get your Sony Bravia kdl32s2030 to read HDMI cable?

This model has an HDMI input. If you can't see a picture when you connect your playback device to the TV with an HDMI cable, you might be on the wrong input on the TV (press the TV/Video button or Source button) or you may have a HDCP issue with the playback device. If you are using a surround receiver or switch for the HDMI inputs, try going directly to the TV. Some receivers can block or corrupt the High Definition Content Protection signal, causing no picture to be output.

How do you connect PS3 to your TV?

The best way to connect the PS3 to a TV is with an HDMI cable. You must have a TV with HDMI input and you must purchase the cable as it does not come with the PS3. If your TV does not have an input for an HDMI cable or you do not want to purchase the cable you can use the color coded plugs on the cable that comes with the slim PS3 game console to plug it into your TV and the HDMI plug into your PS3 console.

Where can i find a converter for a HDMI cable for PS3 to go into the PS3 and it's a venturer lcd tv from last year and every converter i have found does not fit anywhere?

go to bestbuy and ask them for hdmi for ps3 or eb gamesFirst you need to determine if your TV has a HDMI, component ,or A/V input. Once you have that information the PS3 cable you purchase must match what the TV has for input. If your TV does not have a HDMI plug then you do not buy a converter, you purchase a PS3 component cable or use the A/V cable that comes with the PS3.
