PS3 CONNECT DIRETLY TO TV (HDMI) OR THRU THE 720 RECIVER ? Does anybody knows if you can get a BETTER quality picture if conecting the Ps3 directly to the TV or it wil be the same if I connect the PS3 to the Reciver and then the reciver to the Tv?

The picture quailty will be the same unless a cable in between the tv to reciever or reciever to ps3 is bad..other wise it doesnt alter the video just passes it threw. The audio on the ps3 should be set to LPCM and not Bitstream. Blu-rays have TrueHD and DTS-HD-MA audio which the 720 cant decode. But the ps3 can, and send it to the reciever threw LPCM over HDMI. LPCM the player(ps3) does all the decodeing, Bitstream the reciever does the decodeing. Hope that helps

Yes, The receiver has digital/optical inputs on it. I have my PS3 hooked up to it by two inputs, First the video is running out of the PS3 through the HDMI cable. Second I have the audio out of the PS3 through the digital/optical output. The sound is amazing!!!

what I ended up doing was using a hdmi cable for audio. I have a hdmi cable going from the projector into the receiver. Then a hdmi cable from the receiver to the ps3. I turn the projector screen on by using the receiver remote and a display box for the reiciever comes up on the projector screen to make adjustments. I hear that optical cables work just as good.

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.

That's because your optical cable is running from the receiver to the television, not to the PS3. Anything playing on your television will play through all your surround speakers. You would have to run the optical cable directly from the receiver to the PS3 to get the sound strictly from the PS3.My setup is the same as yours.

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.

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 =^)

The PS3 outputs 1080p as well. I still haven't purchased any new player or another PS3. I am just gonna wait for next black friday sale. I have a panasonic dmp-bd60 that I got in 2009 around black friday and I love the picture quality. I am digging the new 2011 panasonic players but they are very expensive.... Like $200 and it doesn't even have built-in wifi.

This does not have any HDMI inputs, only one HDMI output to go to your TV. So long as you have an HDMI input on your TV you can connect the PS3 with an optical cable to this and get Dolby Digital surround, but no TrueHD or DTS, only the built-in Blu-Ray player can use those formats.

Yep. You need the appropriate connector cable for your TV though. Hdmi, component, etc. But check your TV. Some tvs have USB in now. As do PS 3's.

I have not noticed any issues while using the PS3. Since the 71 and the PS3 have HDMI 1.3a, take advantage of monoprice's HDMI 1.3a prices. The bluray picture pops and even has a 3D effect.

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.

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.

Just use the RCA cables that came with the ps3, and set the audio feature under "settings" to RCA. Your ps3 will still display with hdmi cable and then output audio with RCA. Also if you're using RCA to output audio, be sure to buy one of these with this specific speaker system http://www.amazon.com/Console-Adapter-Convert-Plugs-Single/dp/B0006U3ACY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1263445395&sr=1-1 This adapter will give your ps3 5.1 channel surround sound without having to use the lame matrix mode.
