Optical cable from your PS3 to the system my friend and that'll solve your problem. Just make sure you shut off the sound coming from the TV in your TVs menu.

From reading the manual (which I downloaded from the Support section of www.sonystyle.com), it said that HDMI-to-DVI cables and HDMI-DVI adapters are not recommended, but it didn't explicitly say they wouldn't work. Reading between the lines, it seems they aren't recommended only because they only send video information, and you'll need a second connection for the audio...which is really no big deal, if you ask me.If anyone can provide more information, I'd appreciate it. I'm planning on buying this receiver soon but my cable box only does DVI, not HDMI, so this would be a deal-breaker.

I do not own a PS3. But, from personal experience with this device, it should work with any combination of HDMI devices. The Auto Switching feature does work well. Although, at times, it may take a while for it to switch sources. When this happens, I turn off my TV for a few seconds then turn it back on -- make sure the device you want to use is On before you turn the TV back on. Also, the Auto Switching is organized from 1-3. So, a device on port 1 takes priority over ports 2 and 3 even if they are turned on. Port 2 takes priority over port 3, etc..I personally love it and recommend it. It's inexpensive and if it doesn't work properly Amazon will refund your money. I do not own a PS3.

I just bought this system. I haven't tested it yet but the way I have setup is this:PS3 to HDTV via HDMITV to Receiver via Optical InputThis way my I can use Inputs on my TV (it has a lot more inputs than this receiver.) and I get the quality sound. Good luck

All you need is a HDMI cable (1.3, 1080p supported) goint out from your PS3 to back of the 606 (game.tv HDMI input), and only one output from the 606 to the HDTV., that is it, no other cable involved. HDMI stands for high def multimedia interface, it does both Viedo and Audio. It is the future.

I do not have a ps3, however, Ps3 do not have a direct audio output for USB, then you will need to buy an adapter from USB to the HDMI output if you want to enjoy the 7.1 surround

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.

Thanks for your help, I just replaced the Monster Cable that didn't work with this unit (it was working ok when i had my ps3 connected to the tv),I don't know whats the problem with the cable but after replacing it with the cable provided by Directv, the system is working perfect

Well for me the input came in useful as I have 3 devices HDMI compatible and only 2 HDMI inputs on my set. I have my DVR cable box connected to the Samsung receiver via HDMI and the Samsung receiver going to the TV via HDMI. Then I have my PS3 using the other HDMI. And that's what it is all about really. Without the input on the back, I wouldn't have enough inputs to connect everything HDMI.

I believe it to be true and originally ran HDMI to the TV (DirecTV HD-DVR and PS3) and then optical audio out to my receiver. The sound just didn't "pop" out and then I read the TV manual on a whim and couldn't believe that the output only is in 2-channel. I later read somewhere that it is intentional for copyright reasons. Unfortunately, my Surround Sound Receiver also has an annoying limitation whereby it switches HDMI but does not extract the audio from the HDMI connection. So, the workaround for me was to connect the HDMI (for video only) to the TV, keep the TV volume at zero, and connect the digital audio sources from the components to the receiver (which only has two optical audio inputs.) The sound and audio were offset but most good receivers will let you adjust to get them back in-sync.

my westington house display is messing up. the ps3 hdmi handshake is all messed up but my westington house display also has a vga port if i connect this cable to my ps3 (hdmi device) to the display via VGA (1080p) device will it in turn be like connecting a normal hdmi to and hdmi setup. i just want to watch and play ps3 on my 1080p display in 1080p. im pretty sure im reading the description of the cable right but just want to be sure.P.S. dont buy westington displays cheap price for a bad product.

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'm not sure what 1.3 tech is, but I can say that I have never had a problem with my HDMI cables. I am running this TV through a Sony receiver using one HDMI. I have 3 other HDMI devices that are running into my receiver (DVD player, Xbox, and Directv Receiver). When you use all soney products, this TV will recognize the components. For instance, even though my DVD player is connected through my receiver, if everything is turned off, all I would have to do is pop a DVD into the player and the receiver and TV will turn on automatically.

if you still have the original ps3 tv plug in wich is red white and yellow your supposed to connect those together. These cables are only to control the volume of the headset. So you should be good without them.

Yup I HAD that problem as well when I was using RCA inputs but when I changed to Digital Optical, I found that the volume was way too loud and had to turn it down a lot just to fit viewing need.Well, the way I have my setup with the same HTIB(Home Theater in Box) is: PS3>Reciever via Digital Optical for Audio PS3>TV via Component(Plan to upgrade to HDMI once the cable comes) TV>Reciever via RCA(Red and White plugs)For yours specifically Castellanos, I think we need a bit more info on the TV and the Toshiba, like what kind of Inputs and Outputs are on the back of both products or if not that way, give a link to see information on those items.Hopefully we can get this straighten out as with others in the same boat.

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.

Hey Under -- I'm looking at the manual right now. See page 16 #8 where it describes the rear panel of the player. Is the manual advising that I use the analog out even if I'm already using HDMI. This is where I'm confused and why Samsung's tech support has confused me even more.FYI, I posted the very same question in forums of avforums.com and audioholics.com and the answer I received was NO. HDMI is all I need and the analog out would only be necessary if my receiver did not have HDMI.
