Best Answer

On HDMI TVs, on the rear of the set, you will see a squarish plug in near the AV jacks. The HDMI cord runs from the PS3 straight to the TV without AV jacks. You must go into settings on the system and change the AV usage to HD cable. The cable must have a gold colored tip. The store managers say this is actual gold, creating better imaging for the television. They cost around 40.00 for a decent one, but I have personal experience with the cords, they are not worth it. I'd say it truly effects visual gameplay on 50% of games. Fight Night, Madden 11, but not race games like Need For Speed: Shift.

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


Is a HDMI cord necessary to connect a ps3 to a led tv?

Why doesnt your dynex HDMI cable fit in the HDMI port on your television?

All HDMI cables shoudl fit all HDMI sockets, but the mechanical size of the plugs jacket could be a problem if space is tight around the socket. Be aware that there are now mini versions of HDMI connectors (so-called type C). If your cable or connector are different sizes you can purchase type adapters.

How do you connect surround sound to a TV?

There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. If you have the component video cable, then the end that attaches to the Xbox has an optical out port. Simply attach this to the optical in on your home theatre receiver with an optical cable. If you want to use audio via HDMI, in order to get surround sound you'll have to have an HDMI receiver capable of receiving audio. In this case run the Xbox via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver via HDMI to the TV. The HDMI will send both audio and video. If you have the official Xbox HDMI cable you can also connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV and use the optical out connector that it comes with instead.


When using a DVI adapter with a HDMI cable how is sound processed?

DVI and HDMI cables are similar and compatible for digital video signals. HDMI also carries audio while DVI does not. If a DVI cable, connector or adapter is used anywhere in the signal path, the audio signal will be lost. As many computers have a DVI output and most televisions have HDMI inputs, it is common to find at least one HDMI input on a television with a linked analog audio input. It is usually a 3.5mm jack socket near the HDMI connector. To make use of it, the television's menu setting allows either HDMI or analog audio to be selected. Consult your television user manual for full details.
