Are the HDMI ports good for PS3 and PS4 or are they meant for adding onto your surround sound with other audio devices?

To directly answer your question: yes, the HDMI ports are good for PS3 and PS4 and yes, you can use them to add surround sound with audio devices.But I guess what you really want answered is how to connect the audio from your PS3/PS4 to the device while the PS3/PS4 is hooked up to the TV. The answer to that question is simply to connect your TV and PS3/PS4 with an HDMI cable. Then you connect the sound bar to your TV's audio HDMI port with another HDMI cable. Then your PS3/PS4 will play video on the TV and play audio through the sound bar. This is how my systems are set up. You can also set it up where your PS3/PS4 turning on turns your TV and the sound bar on automatically.

You can use them for any audio device as far as I know because you plug the sound bar into the tv and then your devices into the sound bar. You just have to make sure the input the sound bar is on is the one for the device you are trying to get audio on

I'm not sure I only use it for my ps4 but the audio cable outputs are there (red&white;)

The sound bar is is a tricky one considering that it only works with stereo compatibility. Surround sound would not be very effective but will certainly allow for a Dolby decoded sound from the optical output of your PS4 or DVR.

Not sure as I don't know the connectors for ps3 but if it can accept an HDMI signal then the chances are pretty good.

Unfortunately it isn't compatible with ps3 but like the others said get a adapter and you'll do just fine, and by the way the headphones are totally worth it for the price.

You'll need to use the PS3 AV Cable. Plug that into the back of the PS3 and then plug the red and white cables (audio) into the red and white cables for the headset. That's how I have mine connected and seems to work fine. By the way, don't forget to change your audio input/output settings on your PS3 once this is done. If you don't, you'll still get all audio going out via the HDMI.

I used mine for a PS3 connection. It does not provide sound though and I had to use a different cable for that

I found this ( ps3 will get HDMI 1.4 soon )http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3-Updates/Playstation-3-will-be-upgraded-to-hdmi-1-4-ces-2010-interview/m-p/45065103

Yes. I connect my PS3 to the HDMI, and my desktop to DVI, together with the audio to the 3.5mm audio input. The sounds switch with the input smoothly.

No, your PS3 needs an HDMI cable. It has an output for digital optical audio that you could hook up to your surround sound if it takes it but will only output sound from this port not video. I have my PS3 hooked up to my TV via HDMI and have my TV hooked up to my surround sound via the digital optical audio cable so the PS3s sounds comes thru the surround sound

I second this question. I dont plan on getting a PS3 (i own a 360 :-), but I too have heard problems with it not working with HDMI on other things like Direct Tv's box and stuff. Any help would be great!

If the PS3 has a standard audio output for headphone, otherwise it might require a different configuration through USB connection then into the PS3 controller, if you connect your PS3 through a home theater receiver then the audio will pass through. Still these are NOT worth your money, they sound horrid. No Bass, and they will not stay on your head.

Yes. I have my ps4 and my tv connected by an hdmi cable and I used this device from my tv In the "audio out" port. On your ps4 you change your output to tv or I believe it's called Doby 5.1. So basically u just hook this up to your tv audio output and not the ps4. Works great though.

That will work fine for what you are doing. We use ours for our roku and ps3 into one hdmi slot.
