Hi Led-Head: As Anupam describe instructions below you also have to set your PS3 settings (Audio Settings) to the proper channels (either optical or component). I have both 360 and PS3 both hook up optical audio and PS3 was a little bit clear on the sound department. Video dept were the same (blue-ray and hd-dvd). Hope that helps!

Just connect the HDMI from PS3 to your TV directly and the Optical digital Out of the PS3 to the receiver. Once you have connected it to the receiver then make sure that you are selecting the right input by pressing the digital input button on the front of the receiver(e.g. OPT1/OPT2). This is the easiest solution. This means you have to have two cables one HDMI cable from PS3 to TV and one Optical digital cable from PS3 to the receiver. One other thing, you have to change the setup on your PS3 too. You have to select the cable type for Audio output. Do not select HDMI for Audio output on PS3. It won't work as this receiver does not support HDMI for Audio. Just connect the HDMI from PS3 to your TV directly and the Optical digital Out of the PS3 to the receiver.

I do not have a ps3, however, Ps3 do not have a direct audio output for USB, then you will need to buy an adapter from USB to the HDMI output if you want to enjoy the 7.1 surround

I use it with an Apple TV and have no first hand experience using it with a PS3. It should work with the PS3 as HDMI is a standardized interface. On some monitors I have to adjust my Apple TV's settings in order to get an image, then I have to further refine the settings to get the best possible image (still not high def. in some cases). You will also need a VGA cable to go from the adapter to the monitor and any speaker wire adapters to feed sound from the 3.5mm audio port to your speakers of choice. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help, I just replaced the Monster Cable that didn't work with this unit (it was working ok when i had my ps3 connected to the tv),I don't know whats the problem with the cable but after replacing it with the cable provided by Directv, the system is working perfect

Got a question, I got this TV and PS3 with a HDMI cable, but as I connected my PS3 with a HDMI cable version 1.3, the TV cannot find the signal...Do you know what could be the problem??

Special box is a very vague term...I wouldn't say box per se. Do you mean a cable television box or something of the sort? In that case, no. For the PS3 version, a HDMI cable must be hooked up in order for the game to work (they sell them almost anywhere). The game needs to be played in high definition, so an HDTV is ideal.

Sorry I don' have a PS3. However, since this cable does not send (HDMI) signal to a VGA monitor. I'm sure that the same would have happened to the PS3.

Luis, here is what I did. I have a basic Dell monitor with a DVI & VGA input connected to my PS3. What I did:(Display)I bought a HDMI to DVI (or HDMI to VGA) and used the HDMI output from the PS3. (Audio)Then, I connected the the PS3 component plug (red/yellow/white) to a pair of desktop speakers. How to:Use the basic component plug (red/yellow/white) [red and white = audio] Go to Radioshack / Amazon or good electronics store and visit the audio department. Purchase an "Audio Component to headphone Jack adapter" What this does : connect red and white component from Xbox/PS3 to this adapter and plug speakers to the other side of the adapter. It should work! Contact me if you need clarification! Luis, here is what I did. I have a basic Dell monitor with a DVI & VGA input connected to my PS3.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Well doesn't amazon sell hdmi cables with ethernet? so im assuming that if you hook up the ps3 to the internet via wifi to your router, and then hook up an hdmi ethernet cable from your ps3 to you tv..shouldn't that give your tv internet?it is worth a try [i really don't know if it will work since i don't have either, just using advanced common sense :)

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 =^)

If the ps3 is hooked through a HDMI cable, youre gonna have to hook it up through another way. Its basically built through component cables but i would still recommend buying it. It is worth every penny. You can look through YouTube to get an eazy tutorial to do it that way.

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.

i had the same problem with a powered hdmi over cat6 extender with my playstation. worked great with tv but not with playstation.this product solved this problem. i use a fiber optic audio from playstation to my home theater and use this cable to run the video from p/s to flat screen tv. sound works as well but tv speakers suck. good luck!

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

I know this is old, but I have to disagree; of the models discussed here, only THIS one will handle "high-def" (uncompressed) surround sound from the PS3. The Sony that Knowledge Forest posted has no HDMI inputs; its HDMI output is for the DVD changer only. The Yamaha & Onkyo you suggested have only "pass-thru" HDMI inputs, which merely pass the sound from the HDMI input on to the TV. For all three, the only way to get surround sound to the receiver is by digital optical/coax cables, which handle only DVD-quality surround sound (uncompressed LPCM 2.0 or lossy-compression DD 5.1 & DTS 5.1/6.1)--*not* the newest, lossless HD audio formats (LPCM, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio, all at up to 7.1) on Blu-rays & PS3 games. The HT-SS2300 (as well as its predecessor HT-SS2000 and successor HT-SS360), however, will receive high-def LPCM sound over the HDMI connection; that's exactly what the PS3 outputs over HDMI from DVDs, PS3 games & especially Blu-rays. The PS3 will decode all the HD formats and send them to this receiver as LPCM 5.1. Thus, this model should produce BETTER sound than the others discussed earlier. To get HD sound from a current Yamaha or Onkyo model, you'd have to upgrade to a more expensive receiver that can actually decode TrueHD or DTS-HD MA; but that's totally useless for the PS3 (though not for the newest high-end Blu-ray players). Since the PS3 came out before HDMI 1.3, it cannot bitstream those formats; it only decodes them to LPCM. However, since TrueHD & DTS-HD MA are merely "lossless" compression (like a Zip file) of the original LPCM, you still get the same HD sound; you just won't see a Dolby or DTS light on your receiver. (To see the logo on your TV screen, press the "Display" button on the PS3 Bluetooth remote.) For PS3 owners, this is the BEST home theater system out there for the money, unless you need fancier speakers or other special features.
