Connecting TV and PS3 to system? Ok, I was looking to buy this system, but before I do I was just wondering how would I get my DirecTV and PS3 to play through the system as well, if this is possible, has anyone else done this successfully?

Connect everything (PS3, Directv, surround sound receiver) to your television via HDMI, then run an optical cable from your tv to the surround receiver. Presto.

At least you can get your TV to recognize the signal, my tv won't pick up on the hdmi connection. But if i connect it directly to my TV, our when I had my 1080i TV, to change the setting all you would have to do is change it on your playstation, as long as you have 1080P and you change it to automatic, you should be able to get it to work fine in 1080P...sorry this is one year late?

No I don't have this system but I was gonna buy it soon. This would be primarily for playing my 360 so any potential problems with that gets me concerned about it. Are all your cables hdmi 1.4? Even though I don't think that is the problem I always wondered if I ran my PS3 or 360 with hdmi 1.4 to the receiver and the one to the t.v is 1.3 or 1.2 if it would cause problems with the picture. I have always opted for a whole theater in a box but am recently building a surround sound and am trying to learn the system a little bit first.

I just bought this system. I haven't tested it yet but the way I have setup is this:PS3 to HDTV via HDMITV to Receiver via Optical InputThis way my I can use Inputs on my TV (it has a lot more inputs than this receiver.) and I get the quality sound. Good luck

HI Missy, sorry it took so long to get back to you. The PS3 Has an HDMI output so you should be able to connect to your display via HDMI.Hope that Helps, and enjoy your home theater system!

Yeah I have noticed that someone always has a problem with there game consoles. I was looking at my other option and someone was having a problem with their PS3. My primary use would be gaming and blu ray so I am cautious to sink five hundred plus in a system and not have it working fantastic. I probably will still get this one and hope for the best. I hope you figure out the situation.

Does the PS4 have Audio/video component cables (red/white/yellow; or blue/red/green/white/red)? Does your TV have an audio output or an auxiliary 3.5mm input? As long as a system has any of those it IS compatible. Me has no clue, have not researched the PS4, system, but I do believe that it only supports HDMI. Look for any inputs labeled "output" and report back =^)

No, It doesn't. I use both PS3 and PS4, both systems play as if they are plugged directly into TV.

yep, that what I was afraid of but I did see that the PS3 will play SA-CD and output it as DTS over HDMI...hmmm....another reason to get a PS3

anybody? nobody knows? What I am planning is to use my ps3 to play a 3d bluray bypass the signal through my denon avr receiver with PURE DIRECT AND let the hdmi cable connect to the projector. I know that it might not work otherwise there would not be any use for the 3D XL adapter that is coming in january. I would like to know if it will work this other way. A pc with all harware and software required for 3d bluray playback, then send the signal to my receiver with PURE DIRECT to get the audio and then send the signal through hdmi to mi projector. Will this setting work? I'm planning on buying the nvidia 3d vison kit. I would REALLY appreciate any input.

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

If I am watching a channel on my TV, how does the audio get to the surround sound system? Through HDMI or through Optical Audio? Do I need to connect an HDMI Imput cable? Thanks.

Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3. Thing is, for some reason I can't seem to get the PS3 to output dolby surround or dts. I'm running an HDMI cable from the PS3 into the HDMI 2 port on the tv. Then I'm running a fiber optic digital cable from the tv into my little mini receiver -- I have a set of Logitech THX 5.1 speakers. I can get the PCM Stereo on DVDs and BluRay discs, but not surround. I know it's not an issue from the TV to the receiver, because I still get dolby surround on TV shows that have it. I've also tried adjusting setting on the PS3. Any advice? Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3.

I went with the Sharp BD player, and it's working fine now. I already have a PS3, but I wanted a second player for a smaller tv I have in my household (which is a Sharp Aquous too).

If all three devices are connected through HDMI then yes, you can still play games and watch tv in surround sound. Just make sure your HDMI cables support audio return. All you have to do is set the home theatre to the "TV" input. It should automatically feed off of your tv's sound, whether or not its coming from your ps3 or receiver. I do the same at home with this system.

What if you have a 360 as well? The 360 doesn't have an optical slot if you're using the HDMI.Can you connect an optical cable from the TV to the receiver so you can skip the hassle of switching wires between the PS3/360/Cable, or is that possible? I want to use HDMI or else what's the point of an HDTV?

Yes i tried both ways....i first burned it as a data disc and i also tried creating AVCHD DVD....in both cases i saw that PS3 audio is choppy in 1080p mode.....1080i doesnt seem to have any issues. The video camera itself plays the 1080p with no issues when connected directly to my HDTV....is this an issue with my PS3 ? has anyone tried this ?
