Some tidbits for PS3's PQ and SQ

[56@Yamamoto]

1) When you play standard DVD, please turn off noise reduction on DVD player software settings. If you turn on these settings, PQ of standard DVD tends to somewhat dull.

2) If possible, please don't use wireless LAN and Bluetooth devises. As for the standard controller, used by USB connection is preferable. These oscillations interferes inside video and audio signal slightly. But there will be almost no influence in the case of a gaming.

3) If you have a receiver capable HDMI 1.1 or later, please use HDMI for sound transfer, and please check off stream output(DD, DTS, AAC etc.). Sound quality through PS3's internal PCM decoder and transfer in linear PCM is better than that of stream output.

4) Horizontal setting is clearly more preferable to vertical setting. If you have proper insulatores, using them are effective. If possible, get rid of the side cover of internal hard drive.

(There is an established reinforcement method for body. I'm sorry I cannot express it in English precisely. However, I intend to ask the designer for this description in English.)

SCE is making a continuous effort to improve a picture and sound quality of PS3. I've heard next upgraded video/sound driver and player software will offer until the end of this year.
