You don't need to. The PS3 comes with the A/V cable that has HDMI input for the side that goes into the PS3 and three RCA color coded plugs on the other side. If you want to use a HDMI cable all that is needed to to purchase one and plug it in to your HDTV HDMI input and into the PS3 If you want another cable that came with the PS3 ask around everyone using the PS3 with a HDMI cable has an unused PS3 A/V cable stuff somewhere
take your hdmi cable and plug one end into the hdmi port in the back of the ps3 and the other end into your TV.
You plug one end of the HDMI cable into the PS3 and the other into the HDTV
HDMI gives a potentially higher signal quality than component video - but whether you will get higher picture quality depends on the quality of your input signal. Blu ray needs HDMI, but anything at 720i or lower will get by on component.
The one that comes with the PS3 is called the A/V cable an optional cable for this purpose is the HDMI cable and is used for for 1080p HDTVs
A PS3 HDMI cable's cost varies depending on the size of the cable and location of which it is purchased. One could find it for as low as a few dollars and as many as $20-$30.
The PS3 has only one A/V connection cable outlet
You can not have a HDMI Cable and a A/V cable connected at the same time on a PS3. Only one spot exists to plug it in at the back of the PS3. If you do not use the A/V cable the came with the PS3 there are optional S video Cables and also Optional Component Cables that can be used for HDTVs besides using a HDMI cable
Yes with Propriatary Sony Component Cables. Here's a Link. http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802600 PS3 has a HDMI output that can take the PS3 HDMI combo A/V cable that comes with the console when purchased and is used for standard 480 TVs or you can use an optional PS3 Component and HDMI cable or a HDMI cable with the HDMI plug on both ends. So on every PS3 cable one end has a HDMI plug that goes into the PS3 and the other end of the cable has different connections including one optional cable with S-Video on the other end.
Because you need to turn your HDTV to the HDMI that was the one the PS3 was plugged into much like you switch a TV so it will pick up a cable box or DVD player signal instead of the TV antenna Then you can see the PS3 on your HDTV and set the Sync controls for your HDMI. When the sync is on it will switch the tv over to the ps3 when the ps3 is turned on
Use the HDMI cable if the TV has one and change the TV over to HDMI or whatever HDMI PLUG number you used if you have more than one. Some TVs also need to have settings changed to accept HDMI and the sync.
Yes and no. The A/V cable that comes with the PS3 does not provide for HDTV connection that will receive a HD signal to the TV from the PS3, it does however allow the PS3 to work on any TV that has RCA input plugs including HDTV. You must purchase a HDMI cable or component PS3 cable to connect the PS3 if you have HDTV and want the best picture. For internet connection the PS3 does have WiFi, but if you want a wired connection to the internet you must purchase an ethernet cable. The controller does come with a USB cable to allow charging of the controller, but if you purchase an additional controller you must either purchase another USB cable or share the one that came with the system between the controllers.
