The cable that comes with the PS3 is designed with standard RCA A/V connection. The TV side has Two plugs for audio input and the one for video input and they are color coded. The HDMI style plug goes into the PlayStation 3. There are other optional plugs for HDTVs and also a HDMI to HDMI plug for the easiest connection on HDTVs. The standard plug that is sold with the PS3 only allows 480I standard TV and is not for an HDTV connection, but will work to provide standard 480I reception on your HDTV until you purchase an HD Cable

How do you use a PS3?

Simple! 1) Buy a PS3, (I'm talking about PS3 Slim,) and open up the box. 2) Pull out all the cords, and the big black PS3 Slim, itself. 3) Hook the power cable into the back of the PS3 Slim, and hook the other end of the cable into a power outlet that works. Good. Now you have power! 4) Time for the audio and video. Without the AV cable, you wouldn't be able to see or hear what you're doing! So pull out the AV cord from the box. The AC cord is one of the three cords included in the box: mini USB, power cable, and the AV cord. (The AV cord is very colorful on the end.) The cord splits into three small cords, yellow, red, and white. First, plug in the end of the AV cable that is plain black. i. e. not colorful. Plug this into the back of the PS3 Slim, right next to the power cable. 5) Now after the cable is inside the PS3 Slim, plug the colors into your TV, or VCR player. (TV and VCR have three colorful outlets: yellow, red, and white.) Plug in the AV cables into your VCR or TV via color code. (Yellow is your video display. Red is your right speaker audio, and white is your left. You're nearly done! 6) Now turn on the PS3, by pressing the power button. The main screen shows up. Plug in your wireless controller via mini USB into your system, to charge it. After it's charged, you can play without the mini USB cable, wirelessly! To insert a game, just slip it into the slot. To eject, press the eject button, and pull out the disc. With PS3, you can hook up to Internet, play games, download demos, and even talk to friends!

The PlayStation 3 comes with an A/V Cable for non HDTV reception. If your HDTV has only Component connections then you should purchased the PS3 component cable, otherwise purchase the HDMI cable.
