Taking my PS3 to the lake - Blu-ray Forum

deathmachine · 10-10-2008, 07:46 PM

I'v got my PS3 hooked up via HDMI on my LCD TV. I'm taking my PS3 to the lake this weekend. Regular 32 inch tv. Is there anything special I need to do to hook it up to a regular tv? Is it going to detect the standard A/Vcable automatically?

just take the supplied RCA cables that came with the PS3, before you leave I would change the video from HDMI to RCA (480i) just to be sure.

hold down the power button untill it beeps 2 or 3 times or something like that and it automaticly detects what you have hooked up. Its in the manual somewhere.

If you regular ol' 32" has S-video input, you can get a MultiOut with S-video to give you a better quality than composite (Yellow cable for video). If it has component input, even better.

But really, you don't need to bother if you're just spending a weekend there once a year - as in you don't need to bother to take your PS3 or get the S-video cable. Enjoy the peace of the lake.
