so I can get the games to play but i wont be able to hear any sound? Is there no audio out thing on a PS3? Thanks
The PS3 only comes with composite cables (Yellow, Red, White) which connects to the proprietary av output. But it also has the HDMI output and an optical audio output. So you could probably send video through HDMI and your audio out of the composite or optical.
I think you can only use one type of connection at a time though. Either the composite port or HDMI.
That is true for Video. However, you can send video through HDMI and audio through Optical.
correct. doing this very thing with a POS dell 20" until i can afford to replace it... HDMI cable to HDMI/DVI adapter to monitor, and standard composite cable is used for the audio out.
wrong. see above.
my bad, but its true that both ports are not fully functional at the same time.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of speakers do you use that u can use rca cables, but sit close enough and use a 20" monitor?
hey guys thanks a lot for the response, so basically i can take the video and display it through the ACD and then the use the red and white cables to go to speakers! Is that rite? Thanks
yep. don't know if it matters, but i set up the HDMI first, then plugged in the composite adapter, hooked up the red/white and left the yellow hanging. works great, and i've never had to reset or fiddle with it. best of luck.
