If you have purchased the correct cable you just plug it into the back of the PlayStation and into you TV HD Av inputs. My Sony TV has an HDMI and I just purchased a 6 foot HDMI cable to hook up the PlayStation 3 Slim to the TV, but since it also has other HD inputs I could have used them and still plugged the HDMI side into the back of the PS3. The PS3 does not come with HDTV connection cables, they are an optional item that you must purchase yourself. Target.com sells them as do many other stores and online sellers. The first thing you must determine is what kind of setup the TV has before you purchase cables. If it is like mine and has more than one kind go with the HDMI as first choice. Until you purchase the cable the one that is provided will still allow you to use the PS3

∙ 13y agoThere are four ports on the back, AC power, HDMI, optical audio and A/V. It uses the same lead as a Ps2 for AV but as it's the only console with some 1080p games you should use an HDMI if you have a 1080p TV

Why cant i play my PS3 with my AV cables anymore i used to be able to but after i used a HDMI cable the AV cable isn't working i know neither the PS3 cable or TV are broken?
You have to go to your settings and correct them. You no longer will have HD capability with the A/V cables that came with the PS3. You really have no reason to use the A/V cable with a HDTV. The A/V cable will only give 480i or standard TV. Decent HDMI cables can be found at a reasonable or sale price and if thy don't work perfect just return and exchange them

Can a Xbox 360 play PS3 games?
Yes HDMI cables do not have to say they are for PS3 to work on the PS3 and HDTV. Not all the HDMI cables are the same quality and there are a considerable number of opinions about how much to spend on HDMI cables and whether the high priced cables offer any benefit. Personally I would purchase a Brand name HDMI cable of High Quality over one found where the shipping is a greater cost than the cable. There are definitely differences in the construction of the different cables that can be seen and felt in an examination of the cables. Whether the differences are a factor in the HD signal transfer from the PS3 to the HDTV is another matter. I have a Sony HDTV and since PS3 was also Sony purchased a Sony Flat HDMI cable at Walmart for $20 more than the other HDMI cables Walmart offered. I just wanted to be sure that I was getting a great signal for the Blu-Ray discs.

What do you need to play the PS3?
It depends what type of TV you have. If you have a standard TV, all you need is the PS3, and all the connection cables that come with it. Once there connected, all you need is some games to play. But if you have a HD TV, you will need the PS3, all the connection cables that come with it and a HDMI cable. This HDMI cable is what transmits the HD visuals onto the HD TV.
Do you need a HDMI cable to play bluray on ps3?
You certainly Can. The only downfall about not playing your PS3 on an HD television is that obviously the quality of the graphics will be a lot lower. In the PS3 box you are supplied with an AV Cable that consists of three coloured prongs: White, Yellow and Red which all correspond to a coloured socket on the side of your television. Alternatively you can buy an adapter to convert these three jacks into a scart head which then simply plugs into the back of your tv. From personal experience I would suggest buying an HD television to get the most out of your PS3. If you are unable to use the AV cable as it comes and then the scart adapter as a last resort. Hope its helpful.
What cable do you need for a PS3 for HD?

What cables do you need to make a PS3 HD?
It doesn't need any cables to work. If it's not broken it works. If you'd like it to run, however, you need a power cord; basically a power cord from a computer is what a ps3 uses. Now, if you'd like to be able to use it, you need a hdmi cable or component cables. To use a wireless controller, you'll need a usb in order to recharge it's batteries.
How do you hook up a PS3 to a HD tv?
Two options: For true HD you need an hdmi cable that runs from the ps3 to the television's hdmi input. Alternatively, you can use the video adaptor cable (av or yellow, red, white cable: yellow video, red right sound, white left sound) that came with the ps3. PS2's use the same cable. Plug the yellow, red, white cables into the av inputs of your hdtv. You will only have 480i video however. With an hdmi cable you will usually get 780p for games and 1080 for movies. You can also purchase a PS3 component cable if your HDTV does not have HDMI.
