You need a USB adapter for the Playstation. I've heard the only one to use is Schmartz.

I was able to hook it up to the PS3 without anything extra to play Rocksmith and it was a little weird, but the audio fed through okay. But you won't be able to have them both hooked up at the same time. Because you can't have surround sound on the PC I keep 2 speakers on my desk and 2 next to the TV. And when I want to use the PS3 I just move the power box thing.But honestly after having this for awhile, it's not the greatest. I mean, I upgraded from some WalMart speakers from 5 years ago, but my brother bought Logitech speakers around 3 years ago for the same price as this and it still trumps these speakers.

I know this is an old post but, Most newer TVs have HDMI control. I have a Sony LCD 46VE5 and I set my Logitech to control the playstation using the tv remote functions instead of buying the adapter. You don't have total control over the PS3 but it allows you to scroll/pause/play etc.

Oh.. my bad.. I didn't get that one.. I got the 'Cable Matters' micro USB to SlimPort one. It's much better, and you don't need to buy "accessories" for it either. It's a sufficient standalone.

I'm not very tech savy, I watched the videos on how to install it, you just need to install the firmware from Sony, labeled new install, once it's installed it will download the current update, via your Internet connection

Hello Andrew, I can only say that tried it with Japanese PS1 only, and it did not work. I did however get it to work using a Action Reply that is designed to work with PS1 games on my slim PS2. You can check on here for details as I just answered a similar question with another person. I hope it works out for you.

I see no reason why it can't connect to PS3 or 4. I haven't tried, but so far it hasn't failed any single BT transmitting device I've tried. No, it doesn't have audio jack - completely wireless. For this purpose I employ simple BT wireless transmitter with audio jack - there are plenty of those around.

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've had mine now for about two years and have a 3TB Seagate External hard drive attached to it via the USB port. The 3TB model has an external power connection. Thus, it is not powered by the USB port. Having said that, I use mine for watching my movie collection that I have converted from VHS and DVD to mp4. I have had no issues accessing the drive nor using the Sony remote to scroll through files and find the content I want. A nice upgrade would be if the USB port were a USB 3.0 versus a USB 2.0, but as-is, it works fine for me.

I'd also like to know if this is compatible with the PS3. I've googled it but I've found different views on this. Thanks!

Just wanted to put my two cents in too! I just received mine last night - I have a 3 TB hard drive connected to it - I got it because not all tvs (or game systems) play all the different movie formats - this thing plays them all - I am VERY IMPRESSED, and based on the fact of seeing two USB ports I'm positive I can hook up another hard drive (the cartoon one for the kids). There wasn't any lag works perfect. If they ever add more options to the home menu that would be a bonus!

The particular cable I ordered from here was a knock-off that only fit on the original 360. However, the replacement cable I was able to purchase from my local Wal-Mart IS compatible for BOTH original and slim. I just used my new cable today and it worked fine. It is also beneficial if you are able to purchase a cable with the precise directions about which way you can transfer because there is actually a specific way to do it. I hope this helps. =-J

Unfortunately, when I plugged it up to my PlayStation 3, the light came on, indicating that it was on, but the PS3 didn't see it at all. It may be because it's formatted to NTFC by default and I think that the PS3 only reads FAT32 format. That should make it add additional space.

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.

I no longer have the TV to test. I do have a new Sony 65" Ultra HD TV now. It has 3 USB inputs. I tried 3 different keyboards in each input port and each time I got a message "does not support this USB device." All of my keyboards are Apple. They are from 2001, 2003, & 2008. I use a bluetooth keyboard with AppleTV but cannot get the TV to recognize it. Going thru the on screen guide I found that under "other devices" it did list USB. The only thing it had under it was external storage with the image of a thumb drive. It spoke about pictures. Try surfing to the on screen guide and see if it gives you the same info.

Haven't cracked ps3 open don't know for sure. Given you asked I'd recommend you don't. You may have to get creative and solder for one. Also OS and firmware may present an issue.
