How connect your ps3 to your Mitsubishi 73 3d tv?

It is very simple to connect the PS3 to the HDTV indicated. Purchase a HDMI cable for the connection of the PS3 and your HDTV. The back of the PS3 has a spot to Plug in the HDMI cable and the HDTV should have a few HDMI Inputs. Once connected and with the PS3 turned on and plugged in you may need to set the HDTV to the location that the HDMI cable has been plugged or it may already have the PS3 cross media bar. Go to your settings and set the video and HDMI to match your 3D TV. When set up right with the slim model PS3 the HDTV should turn on when both devices are off and you slide a game into your PS3. The HDTV should also switch to the PS3 whenever it is turned on by using the HDMI sync feature that you turned on under the settings menu. You may find that you also have to adjust the settings for your HDTV for this to occur.


Do you have to have a HDMI cable to play on the PS3 and if not what does it do?

No, you don't need a HDMI cable for your PS3. this feature is optional. What it does is it increases the resolution of your PS3 meaning you get better graphics. The HDMI cable allows the the HDTV and the PS3 to sync and also provides a single plug hookup with the PS3. The higher resolution can also be achieved with the purchase of a Component AV cable for the PS3 from stores like target.com for HDTVs that do not have a HDMI connection. Only the supplied PS3 cable with only 3 RCA type plugs would have decreased resolution on a HDTV, but for non HDTVs it's the only connection with the PS3 that's I know of that's possible. see accessories for the PS3 in the related link

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.

If you have a projector TV then it would depend on it's connections. A PS3 will connect with an HDMI to a HDTV projector style TV with a HDMI input with the single cable.
