My component cable died last night :( - Blu-ray Forum

Got2LoveGadgets · 08-08-2008, 07:54 AM

Can anyone recommend a decent component cable for the PS3? I run HDMI to the projector and component to the LCD but last night the componet cable (hopefully and not a hardware issue with the PS3

) failed
I think it was a madcatz

Are you sure it is the cable that causes the problem? You can buy PS3 component cable from Monoprice.

you can use the composite cable (3 colors) from the PS1 or PS2

ThePhantomOak · 08-08-2008, 09:29 AM

why dont you get a joint to split the HDMI into two outs? That is possible right?

If your TV has an HDMI input, you can buy an HDMI switch and use two HDMI cables.

I was just gonna say:

Get a decent HDMI switcher. That way you can route the signal whichever way you want to go.

No way, the best option is to get a newer TV with more HDMI ports in the back!

My TV has enough HDMI ports it just that I run the audio to the amp via HDMI and my amp annoyingly only has 1 HDMI out which goes to my projector. Is a HDMI splitter bi-directional can I split the signal going out from the amp?
