To use the playstion3 remote for Blu-ray movies what else do you need on your 1080p to get Blu-ray?

The PS3 works best when connected to the 1080P HDTV with HDMI cables and the new slim PS3 may then even allow your HDTV remote to Play the Blue-Ray movie that you also need to get Blue-Ray. I know with my PS3 slim 120 GB model connected with HDMI cables to the Sony BR6 HDTV I can use my HDTV remote for Blue-Ray and DVD movies played in the PS3.


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.


How can you connect your ps3 to your samsung home theater and to your tv using HDMI cables and will my tv handle HDMI cables if my tv is 720p?

If your HDTV does not have a HDMI input you need either a component or S video cable also designed for the PS3 and purchased from a store like Target or Target.com. That cable has a connection for the PS3 on one side and a connection for your HDTV input on the other side and could cost $25. Some home theater systems even include a blue ray disc player and the PS3 can be connected to those and the whole HDMI system will allow everything to work. MY Samsung HDTV is just an older 26 inch 720 P model and used only to watch during meals. It does have many input connections except they are for component, S video, and the regular A/V that came with the PS3 for 480i standard video. I suspect your HDTV does not have HDMI and you will need to purchase a special cable, but can use the cable that came with the PS3 until you do. Amazon.com has them for under $20 see related link If you Home theater has the five color coded RCA plug inputs for a Component cable on the back you can try to connect the PS3 to it.


Where do you get standard AV cables to connect ps3 to tv?

Does the PS3 support 1080p?

Yes the PS3 supports 1080P when it is connected to a 1080P HDTV with the correct connection cables. The blu-ray disc plays movies at 1080P when played on the PS3 to my HDTV. The PS3 also upscales DVDs to near HD quality with amazing results. In order to fully support 1080p you do need to have a 1080p capable HDTV connected to the PS3 with HDMI or component cables.

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 your ps3 with out an internet connection?

Plug it into your TV with the cable that came with it or if you have a HDTV buy a HDMI cable and plug that into your HDTV and PS3.. Plug the power in and turn it on. You should see it on your TV screen and if not turn your TV to the same input you plugged the PS3 into. Owners of the 720P HDTVs or those without HDMI can buy PS3 component cables with 5 color coded connections that use RCA plugs for the HDTV inputs. Both the HDTV 1080p and 720 HDTV owners can connect with the A/V cable that came with the PS3, but then it will be standard 480i from your PS3
