Need help sa pag set up ng PS3 ko.

When I first set this up (sa LCD ng bro in law ko) I used an HDMI cable.
Updated the software and all tapos automatic settings for optimum results.
Kaso when I got back sa PH I hooked it us sa LCD ko via the supplied cable (composite), ayaw na mag display. Problema is 1 HDMI in lang ang LCD ko. So I have to switch back and forth between my Pio600 and the PS3.

Ang gusto ko sana gawin is move my PS3 sa component cable (found one sa v mall) then my Pio600 sa HDMI. Kaso nga ayaw mag display ng PS3 pag palitan ko ang cable (from HDMI to composite/component). Anything I should tweak to make this work?

ok, when the PS3 is on standby mode, press the power button on the front and hold it until it beeps and turns off, (it defaults back to the 480i search mode), then plug in your desired cable and turn in on again ^_^

ive been meaning to ask this, does the ps3 output 720p or 1080i via component?

DonKB · « **Reply #723 on:** Jan 28, 2008 at 03:58 PM »

^^^ Kaya yung 720p sa PS3 kapag component cables. Bale nasubukan ko na kasi yung PS3 ko doon sa HDTV ng pinsan ko. It's a 60in Sony (rear projector, btw). Kaya 720p at 1080i nung HDTV nila (medyo luma na kaya wala pang 1080p). Hindi ko nga lang nasubukan yung 1080i.

Napansin kasi namin ng pinsan ko sa Xbox 360 kapag 1080i eh halata yung pag flicker ng picture kaya nag 720p lang kami. Kung may component cable ka na sa PS2, puwede mong gamitin yun kasi pareho lang sila nung kabitan.

Sayang...sana pala hindi ko sinama yung component cable ko when I sold my PS2.

Saw a component cable for PS3 sa V Mall, one store was selling for 450. The other one was selling for 1200. I looked at both and parehas na parehas lang. Pati packaging and itsura.

DonKB · « **Reply #725 on:** Jan 28, 2008 at 04:36 PM »

^^^ He he

Sa EYO ba yung P1,200. Dun kasi ako kumuha nung component cable. Binigay sa akin ng P1,000. Wala na rin kasi mahanap sa iba nung oras na naghanap ako. Kung kelan ako nakabili saka naman nagkaroon sa iba at mas mura pa!

Nanghihinayang din ako. Wala na rin kasi ako makitang official Sony component cable. Dapat pala kumuha na ako noon dati nung meron pang binebentang PS2 sa mga tindahan ng Sony. Eh ngayon, wala nang official support ang Sony PH sa mga PlayStation products.

bros bat yung ibang games like Call of Duty4 na sabi na 1080p capable eh lumalabas na 720p automatically sakin. pero sa ibang games nag 1080p naman automatically din?

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #727 on:** Jan 28, 2008 at 06:34 PM »

DonKB,

Yup sa Eyo 1.2K tapos sa isa pang store 450 lang (forgot the name of the store).

Ano nakalagay sa likod ng case ng game? May nakalagay bang 1080p? Wala rin kasi akong CoD4. Napansin ko lang din kasi sa ibang PS3 games, kahit sa US PS Store ko na download yung demo, yung ibang games (tulad ng DMC4) eh PAL yung signal. Buti na lang multi-system yung gamit kong SDTV. Bakap arang ganun din yan? Kung hanggang 720p lang yung game eh magsi-switch yung PS3 sa 720p?

kt · « **Reply #729 on:** Jan 29, 2008 at 04:54 PM »

bro nakasulat 720p & 1080p kaya eh. pero yung ibang games naman na kaya mag 1080p nag 1080p naman. try ko ulit yung ibang games na nag 1080p. tnx

uncheck nyo yung 720p sa ps3 display settings nyo...this will do the trick to 1080p sa cod4..

yes it does as long as the game / media can support it (actually component cables can even support 1080p from what I read). Just played 300 BD at 1080i last night.

But I think the PS3 can't upscale to 720p or higher using component cables.

for games can do up to 720p for component, for DVD upscaling need to use HDMI

how about blu-ray? will it output 720p or 1080i via component?

darkwing · « **Reply #737 on:** Jan 30, 2008 at 04:42 PM »

yup @ 720p

depends on your settings. My LCD can handle both 720p and 1080i. Played 300 blu ray at 1080i using component.

darkwing - yup 720p nga lang ang games. thanks for clarifying

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #739 on:** Jan 30, 2008 at 09:28 PM »

Wait so clarify ko lang....

- using component cables and playing games it can go up to 720p (depende if the game can do 720p)?
- using component cables and watching BR can go up to 720p (depende if the TV supports 720p)?

Are these true statements?

Kasi my LCD has 1 HDMI input lang. I have the PS3 and a Pio600, so I have to choose which one will be using the HDMI input. If the 2 statements above are true then my concern is solved.

I'll have the PS3 conencted to my LCD via component and still get 720p when watching BR or palying games. Then the Pio600 will be via HDMI and upscale SD DVDs to 720p.

or to 1080i or 1080p.

I have the same equipment as you. so this is what Im going to do as well. problem is, finding a quality cable from ps3 to lcd. the only thing ive seen so far are the regular ones in gh selling for 450.

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #742 on:** Jan 31, 2008 at 08:18 AM »

Since the 450 ones are the only available cables right now I'll settle for that.
Based on my experience sa PS2 ok naman siya -- moving from composite to regular 450 component.

Another question on setting up the PS3. Ok ba kung ganito set up:
Video: PS3 --> 450 component --> LCD
Audio: PS3 (optical) --> AVR 1907 --> 5.1 speakers

Or

Video: PS3 --> 450 component --> LCD
Audio: PS3 --> 450 component --> LCD --> AVR 1907 --> 5.1 speakers
*The 450 component cable includes RCA audio cables (red and white) that I can conenct to my LCD.

With Option 2: What kind of audio do I get (digital, analog, stereo, 5.1 etc)?
Same question with Option 1.

Ctlim · « **Reply #743 on:** Jan 31, 2008 at 09:12 AM »

just connect the both the L/R audio RCA that comes with the 450 component cable to your LCD. and get an optical cable to connect to your AVR.

you can toggle between the two in the sound settings of the PS3. depending on your mood. sometimes i like to play loud so I use my AVR, and there are times when I try to be quiet so I use the sound from my LCD instead.

i saw a third party ps3 component cable in electronics boutique last night. i just cant remember the brand but it has a nice packaging and sells for around 750. i actually felt bad that i got my sony component cables for 1500.

Mga sir, quick OT lang - nandito kse yung mga PS3 owners.
Have you tried using PS3 as a CD player? There's feedback that it can out-perform some of the popular (and expensive) dedicated CDPs in the market. Please just chime in here > http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=75947.0

Many thanks bros! Just wanna see up to where we can push this baby.

I wouldn't be surprised since the 60GB PS3 is able to play SACD, its circuits must be that good

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #747 on:** Jan 31, 2008 at 02:43 PM »

ct,

Problema wala digital audio out (Coax or optical) ang LCD ko (Sammy LA32R71).
Kaya ginawa ko na lang optical out ng PS3 direct to oprical in ng AVR ko.
Haven't tried it though...I'm still testing the avr using cable tv and pio600.

bro, we have the same LCD, mukhang maaga ka rin bumili.... hehehe

option 1 is the best you got. in this option the L/R audio plugs of the 450 component is also plugged into your LCD for normal sound so you only get 5.1 from your PS3 once you turn on your AVR using optical. thats the only way.
