HDMI, component video or composite video cable...any one of these will work for output to the PS3. HDMI would be the easiest if you have a newer PS3 model. Good luck.

I guess my cables are HDMI Cables. I looked up Hiteker on amazon and found pictures of the back of this Tv and shows where the cables go. I will keep looking. I have a picture of the back of tv but can not find where to attach a photo on here. :(

Here's the setup that I use...You would need two HDMI cables to connect both your DirecTV receiver and PS3 to the TV. You would then need an optical audio cable to connect that from the TV to your Home Theater receiver. You would then have to go into your TV settings and have the audio output setup correspondingly. This scenario will not always work as not all TVs support this function.

Hello,Thank you for asking. There should say HDMI next to the inputs where the cable should be plugged in. We hope this helps. If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know.Regards,Abacus

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.

Hi missy, your DIRECTV Receiver SHOULD have an HDMI output. If indeed it's an HD Receiver. Just connect it straight to one of your HDMI Inputs on your display. What model do you have? H20, HR21?For your onkyo, you should connect your DIRECTV straight to your surround system, using an optical or digital coaxial cable.PS3? I don' t know much about game consoles. I'll ask my brother who knows more about this than I do, and get back to you.

Thank you, Erika. I'll be getting some inexpensive HDMI cables, then, most likely the AmazonBasics. Happy New Year!L

I have to agree with you. I have a playstation 3 and a media extender for streaming vids/TV from my computer. That uses up all my HDMI inputs on the Yamaha. So what happens when I get a new device?? Yeah, I'm not really future proofed at all. I'd like to see 4 HDMI inputs.

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!

You don't need a HDTV or HDMI TV even though it works on these TVs as well. Make sure that your TV has audio and video (1 yellow for video and 1 white for left audio and 1 red for right audio) composite AV inputs. Just align the colored cables with these 3 jacks. It's very simple.I also have an HDTV in which you have to plug in the HDMI cable to the HDMI port. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00979QONC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1418877255&sr;=8-2π=AC_SY200_QL40Both of these devices work perfectly.

I bought this so long ago so take my advice with a grain of salt. My TV has a toslink out and my PS3 is connected via HDMI to my HDTV. My tv is connected from toslink to this device then to my phillips home theater system. Hope that helps.

Lots of info on the wiki link. However, I did not find answers to these basic questions:* Is there a better connection when the ends are NOT gold-plated?* It seems, + correct me if I'm mistaken, that what type of HDMI cable you get (e.g. 1.3 vs 1.4) depends on the device you're hooking up (its type of connectors). Please confirm or clarify.* Also, what is wikipedia talking about when they say that in 2012, then numbers (e.g. 1.4) will have to be removed?THANKS!

I totally agree. I forgot about the PS3, and I've seen several people mention that. I also would like to keep the TV for several years, and I admit that I didn't realize the absence of HDMI 1.3 until after I received my TV, but I guess it was one of those things I thought I could live without immediately.

You don't "need" a monster cable. But still connect with an HDMI. I have this and plays my TV, PS4 and everything else. You need, drum-roll...and OPTICAL CORD!! AV 4 plays the TV, AV 1 plays the PS4, so go through the channels and see where the sound is located. I never read any instructions cause one, I'm a guy, and guys don't need no stinking directions! (LMAO) And I had it set up and running in about 2 hours. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, let me know.

one more point. i didnt see any hdmi port on the logitech. only optical port. for you to get true hd sound from the ps3 hdmi is better! the ps3 outputs HD sound via lcpm which is only through hdmi. I think the sony is better for your needs. you will need to buy another hdmi cable though

Do you have the tv on the HDMI setting that corresponds with which one you plugged the HDMI cable into? If not try changing that on your second monitor/tv untill you get to that setting. For instance: my second monitor is a 19' tv, I plugged this product into the HDMI port on the back of the TV. That port is considered HDMI 1. So to get to it work, I set the tv on HDMI 1. To use my PS3 which is hooked up to the tv, I have to change it to video to see my game and the menu screen.

I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008. This is going to seem huge compared to my 13 inch tv that's hooked up now. I'm glad that it's getting really good reviews. Is it hard to set up? Can I do it on my own? What length is the base? I'm planning on putting it on the table that my other tv is currently on. Would all I have to do is plug it in and connect it to my cable just like my tv is now? I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008.
