Ps3 does not connect to TV via HDMI

No image when connecting PlayStation 3 - possible reasons

When you connect your PlayStation 3 to a new picture playback device, you may experience problems with picture output. In particular, the PlayStation 3 remembers that it needs to use the HDMI output for broadcasting if you have always used an HDMI cable before. And if you suddenly decide to connect the console to the TV via an AV or Chinch cable, it may turn out that you won’t see any picture. In this case, the so-called “Softreset” helps - you will learn more about this by reading the next paragraph.

PlayStation 3 console

This article will help you if you want to connect your PlayStation 3 system to your TV using an HDMI cable.

Note:
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SIEE) does not have information on supported HDMI converters - i.e. HDMI to DVI converters. SIEE cannot guarantee the performance of any converters. Additionally, the PlayStation 3 system can only output video through one connector at a time; SIEE does not have information about connecting a PlayStation 3 system to multiple devices.

You will need access to an HDMI input channel on your screen device. Most TVs have multiple input or video channels (i.e. Input 1, Input 2, Input 3, etc.). Once you have completed the HDMI setup on your PlayStation 3 system and connected the system to your TV using an HDMI cable, you may need to try each input channel one by one to find the channel that matches the HDMI input. For more information, see your TV's documentation.

Turn off your PlayStation 3 system and unplug it from the power source.
Turn off the TV and unplug it from the power source.
Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT connector on the back of your PlayStation 3 system.
Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input jack on your TV.
Reconnect the PlayStation 3 system to the power source and turn on the PlayStation 3 system.
Reconnect the TV to the power source and turn it on.
The PlayStation 3 system will automatically detect the TV via HDMI.
Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm HDMI output, switch to optimal settings, and confirm maximum HD picture resolution.

If you do not confirm the new settings within 30 seconds, the PlayStation 3 system will automatically revert to the previous picture settings. In this case, change the video output settings manually by going to the XMB™ menu and selecting Settings > [Display Settings] > [Video Output Settings]. If the video output settings do not match your TV's video output settings, the video may disappear from the screen when you change the resolution. If the image does not recover within 30 seconds, do the following to reset the video output settings:

Press and hold the PlayStation 3 system's power button to turn off the PlayStation 3 system.
Press and hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn the system back on.
Video output settings will automatically reset to standard definition.

Connecting PS3 to a modern TV via HDMI

The Sony PlayStation 3 console can work on different TVs, but the best option is modern models. First, you should make sure that your computer supports an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connection. You can find out about this in the instructions. This cable looks like this:

In the latest versions of the PS3 console it comes included. If you don't have a cable, you can always buy one.

The connection follows a simple scheme:

First you need to connect the set-top box to the network. Insert one end into the input on the back of the PS3 and the plug into a power outlet. After this, the red indicator on the case will light up - the power is on, the set-top box is functioning normally.
Now you need to connect your Sony PlayStation 3 to your TV. The HDMI connector is located on the back of the device - insert the cable into it until it clicks.
The second end of the cable must be connected to the set-top box. The connector is located on the rear panel between the place for the network and Internet cables. Plug in the cable until it clicks.
Done, the set-top box is connected and ready to use.

The HDMI cable has identical ends, so you won't mix them up. You can clearly see the connection process in the following video:

Connecting PS3 to an old TV via tulip

As it turns out, a tulip is a rather loose concept. AV, S-Video and RCA are used for connection. We will analyze each of them separately. Remember or write down the name of the cable so that you can select the correct item in the store.

Next in quality after HDMI is AV. It is quite easy to recognize - the cable has five inputs for connecting to a TV at one end, and at the second there is a compact plug for connecting a set-top box. It is not included as standard with the Sony PlayStation 3, so you will have to buy it separately. Check your TV manual to make sure you have the option to connect via AV. The cable looks like this:

The connection is made according to the standard scheme. We plug one end into the set-top box in Multi Out, and the other into the sockets of the desired color on the TV. For convenience, each output is marked, audio is highlighted as L

and
R
, and video – PR/CR, PB/CB, Y. The image will be clear, but the AV connection does not reach HDMI.

An older format that produces low image quality, the lack of clarity will be noticeable to any user. With older TV models you don't have to choose. An S-Video cable is not included in the package, so you will have to purchase it separately. You can't confuse it:

At one end there are two audio jacks ( L

and
R
), and on the other is a standard input for a game console. Insert the connectors by color, so you can't go wrong. After connecting, the image may not appear, in which case restart the console and turn on the TV again so that it detects the new device.

The most “ancient” connection option, but the cord comes with the set-top box. In this list, the cables are arranged in descending order of quality, so you shouldn’t expect an attractive picture. The advantage of RCA is that this type of connection is supported by almost any TV.

Your device may have SART (plate connector) inputs instead of the standard RCA ones. In this case, you can purchase a special AV-Scart cord or adapter, which is shown in the photo above. As practice shows, on older TVs the colors do not always match the RCA connectors, so you will have to experiment.

You can learn more about connecting the PlayStation 3 to a TV with tulips in the following video:

Why can't my TV see PS3, Xbox 360?

Today, the entertainment industry is constantly making new breakthroughs that impress and delight end users. Excellent examples of such developments are the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game consoles. Consoles that allow you to play the most powerful, beautiful and modern games for relatively little money, especially when compared with the price of the computer needed for such games. However, various troubles often happen when the console stops working, or for some reason the connection between the set-top box and the TV is lost. Let's look at the most common problems why this might happen:

The TV and PS3 work fine together for a while, but after disconnecting for any reason, the console is no longer recognized by the TV. The main problem may be that the TV does not support the maximum console resolution – 1080p. The TV can only output 1080p or 720p. The settings were reset after the set-top box was turned off, the settings were automatically set to maximum quality, as a result of which the connection was lost. To restore communication, you need to reset the settings, and then set the necessary parameters again. To reset the settings, press and hold the “OFF” button for 3 seconds.
Many gamers have a minor but annoying problem where every few days or once a week after turning on the console, they are asked whether “do you want to output using HDMI?” and, accordingly, the requirement to enter settings. The easiest way to fix the problem is to replace the HDMI cable.

There are quite a few problems with the connection between the set-top box and the TV, however, they are all of the same type and consist of problems with the settings of the console or TV, damage to the HDMI cord, and much less often, damage to the HDMI socket. Occasionally, a situation occurs when the console visually works, but there is no picture or any connection with it at all. If this is not a broken cord, then it may be that the microprocessors in the console or TV, which are responsible for processing a certain signal, have burned out. Therefore, if you checked the cord and tried your game console on another TV, then we can conclude that this is burnout of internal parts. In this case, the most correct solution would be to call professional TV technicians from the TV Service Center company, who will quickly arrive when called and fix the breakdown on the spot and for a reasonable fee directly at your home.

Problems connecting Sony PlayStation 3

When trying to connect a game console to a TV, you may encounter a problem - there is no image on the screen. There may be several reasons:

Previously, the set-top box was connected with a different cable
. The TV simply did not detect the new connection type, do a hard reset of the PS3. To do this, press the start button and hold it for about 10 seconds, you will hear two beeps. Try connecting to the TV again.
Faulty cable
. You can test it with a special device or try it on another device. The problem will be solved by purchasing a new cable of the required format.
You have not entered connection mode
. If, after starting the set-top box, you see a channel on the TV screen and not a loading screen, it means you have not switched to the desired mode. Depending on the model, this can be HDMI, AV, RCA, S-Video. The TV should be switched to connection mode with a set-top box using the remote control, there you will see an HDMI button or its equivalent, depending on the version of the device.

SONY PlayStation 3 no image

Sometimes it happens that when you turn on your SONY Play Station 3, the TV or monitor screen remains black - there is no image .

There is no need to immediately panic and call workshops and service centers. To get started, try a few simple steps... - try resetting the video settings of the SONY Play Station 3 - to do this, when you turn on the console, after the first beep , do not remove your finger from the power button, but hold it for several seconds (5-7 sec.) - the second beep should sound and an image should appear on the TV or monitor screen. - if a second sound signal , but there is no picture , try a different HDMI cable or connect the HDMI to a different TV input. Alternatively, you can connect another video source, such as a laptop or TV set-top box, the PlayStation 3 If the image does not appear, then the problem is not with the HDMI or the TV, but rather with your PS3 .

There can be many reasons why the SONY PlayStation 3 does not have an image to the HDMI connector or a malfunction of the console’s motherboard. Board malfunctions often include problems with the graphics chip (RSX) or a malfunction of the HDM I video converter ( MN8647091 ), but other problems may also occur - power problems, firmware corruption , or a malfunction of the central processor (CELL) .

In this article I want to describe a malfunction of the SONY PlayStation 3 , when the console turns on, does not produce video and does not enter service mode. An accompanying syndrome of this malfunction is that cooling system cooler does not start after turning on the set-top box. With such symptoms, there is a 90% probability that the cause of the malfunction lies in the HDMI converter , microcircuit MN8647091 . To be more confident, you need to disassemble the console and make the necessary measurements using a conventional tester (multimeter).

I want to warn you right away - think seven times, figure it out once ...

Although there are a lot of videos on the Internet about how to disassemble or repair this or that device, it is still good to strategize your strength or at least watch the video several times. Sometimes it’s easier to pay a certain amount of money to those who understand and will give a guarantee for repairs, than to try it yourself and, if the circumstances turn out to be bad, again turn to specialists, but pay more, because... you will have to fix your mistakes too... If you do not have basic knowledge of electronics, if you have a measuring device (tester) or inherited it, it is from the word “is” (here it is, but you need to google how to use it.... )))) and you do not have the necessary equipment for soldering of electronic components, at least a soldering iron and a soldering gun, it is better to contact specialized workshops and service centers!!!!

Well, now for the bravest and most desperate... We disassemble the PlayStation 3 console, down to the screw.... We take out the board, take the tester in our hands and start measuring....

If you find a short circuit at the points indicated on the board, then you can say with almost 100% certainty that the MN8647091 is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Everything was tested on client set-top boxes (they were delivered with such a defect) and on my test boards (by closing the necessary electrical circuits) - the diagnostic option is 100% working and after replacing the HDMI converter, all client set-top boxes with such symptoms started working.

This diagnostic method is suitable for SONY PlayStation 3 Slim ( CECH-20xx , CECH-25xx , CECH-30xx ) and SONY PlayStation 3 Super Slim ( CECH-4xxx ). It is possible that the defect appears in exactly the same way on the PS3 Fat , but I cannot verify this at the moment.

Connection via HDMI

The third generation gaming console from Sony is capable of working on TVs from various companies. However, in order to achieve high-quality images with maximum resolution, it is better to connect the PlayStation 3 to Samsung, Sony, and LZ TVs of the latest model range.

First you need to check if your TV supports HDMI. All necessary information can be found in the user manual. This connector is primarily located on the side or rear panel. An HDMI cable is included in the basic package of the latest versions of the PS3 game console. Therefore, you don't have to buy it additionally.

Why is connecting the console to the TV via HDMI considered the best option? Firstly, this cable is capable of broadcasting images in HD quality on a large screen. Secondly, the cord provides simultaneous transmission of audio and video signals.

Instructions for connecting a PS3 console to a TV via HDMI:

Connect the power cord of the game console. When everything is done, the red indicator will light up.
One plug of the HDMI cable must be inserted into the corresponding connector on the console, which is located next to the network socket. Insert it until you hear a characteristic click.
The second plug is inserted into the HDMI interface of the TV. The location of this input depends on which TV model we are talking about.

The connection is configured, which means the console is ready for use. Turn on the TV and change the signal source. Instead of a digital or analog signal, you need to select “HDMI”.

How to connect Sony Playstation 3 to TV

The third generation gaming console from the Japanese brand Sony supports almost all popular wireless communication standards. However, to set up synchronization of the set-top box with the TV, you will have to use special cords. The quality of the picture and the features of connecting equipment largely depend on the cable used by the user.

To understand how to connect a Sony PlayStation 3 to a TV, no special knowledge or skills are required. The mechanics of the process boils down to connecting the plugs into specially designed connectors. The main task is to choose the appropriate interface. To do this, you need to carefully examine the back panel of the TV for accessible connectors. Based on the results of the visual inspection, a final decision is made.

Let's carefully consider the most common interfaces, some of them are found exclusively on new TVs, while others, on the contrary, are found mainly on older devices.

Via HDMI cable

Definitely the HDMI channel is the optimal way to synchronize the console with the TV. Of course, the set-top box supports connection to equipment from various brands. The manufacturer is not of fundamental importance. This interface is good because it provides fast data transfer without loss of quality. Therefore, the image is displayed on the screen in the highest possible resolution. Sound and video are transmitted through one cable.

Almost all new products in the television segment are equipped with the interface in question. Therefore, there should be no problems with synchronization. Of course, before you connect your PS3 to your TV via HDMI, check whether it is equipped with this connector. Mostly all the ports are on the back panel, but sometimes on the side.

In most cases, an HDMI cable is immediately included in the basic kit from the manufacturer. However, there are exceptions. The first revisions of the set-top box are sold together with other cables. In any case, users will save on purchasing a cable. An image with Full HD resolution will be broadcast through such a cable.

Connection via tulip

How to connect PS3 to a CRT TV? Outdated equipment is not equipped with an HDMI interface. Therefore, users have to resort to using other connectors. Mostly, the connection of devices is configured through tulips. Experts note that a tulip is an elastic concept. AV, S-Video, RCA connectors are all tulips. Just different modifications.

Which of these cords is better to use? A very difficult answer. To answer objectively, we will carefully analyze each of these options.

If we evaluate all available interfaces for connecting PS3 from the standpoint of the quality of the broadcast image, then the undisputed leader is HDMI. In second place is the AV cable. This wire has 5 inputs with which you can connect your game console to your TV. At the second end there is a special plug, which is inserted into the corresponding socket on the back panel of the set-top box.

The standard cable for PS3 is HDMI. Therefore, the AV cable will have to be purchased separately. Please read the instructions first to see if the TV supports the ability to connect additional devices via the AV interface.

The connection is configured according to the standard scheme. One end of the cable is inserted into the TV connector, and the other into the game console socket. The plug is inserted into the input, which is labeled Multi Out. All 5 inputs have the appropriate color, so there should be no problems with connection.

For maximum user convenience, absolutely all inputs are marked accordingly. The elements responsible for audio output are marked as L and R. The video signal is transmitted through the inputs: PR/CR, PB/CB, Y. This approach allows you to achieve decent image quality.

S-Video connector

Quite an outdated format that produces low-resolution images. Therefore, the image quality leaves much to be desired. The lack of proper clarity will be noticeable to the naked eye. However, if you want to set up a connection between the Sony PlayStation 3 and an old TV, then the S-Video interface is suitable for this task.

The cable is not included in the basic package of the TV and console. Therefore, the cord must be purchased separately. On the one hand, the cable is equipped with two inputs for transmitting audio signals. They are marked accordingly - L and R. At the other end you will find a standard plug that is inserted into the connector of the set-top box.

All inputs have a different color. Therefore, focus on this aspect to connect the connectors and avoid making mistakes. When everything is connected, reboot the set-top box and then turn on the TV. When the new device is detected, change the signal source. That's all. The console is ready to use.

RCA connector

An option that is suitable for owners of the oldest TVs. The advantage is that the RCA cord is included in the basic package of the game console. Therefore, the user will not have to spend money on buying a cable. You shouldn't expect a high-quality image. The only positive aspect of RCA is the fact that this interface is supported by almost all TVs without exception.

It is possible that your TV is equipped with a SCART connector instead of a standard RCA connector. In such situations, you need to buy an adapter - AV-SCART. In the process of connecting the game console, you will have to experiment. Because older TV models do not have color-coded connectors.

How to connect to PlayStation 3 TV

Third-generation models support almost all popular wired and wireless communication formats, so there is plenty to choose from. The quality of the output picture largely depends on the method of connecting the Sony set-top box.

Advice! First of all, you need to focus on the set of TV interfaces. If you cannot visually determine the specific format of a particular port, then you can look at the operating instructions, which describe in detail the available set of outputs.

HDMI

Connecting via HDMI is the optimal way to connect the console and TV . The TV manufacturer in this case is completely unimportant, because the interface standard is the same for everyone. The HDMI port is good because it provides almost lightning-fast data transfer without loss of quality. Here we have a high-resolution picture and sound without distortion.

All modern TVs are equipped with an HDMI interface. It is usually located on the back wall, but sometimes it can be seen on the side or on the front panel. In a good half of cases, the cord is already included with the console.

How to connect PS3 to TV via HDMI interface:

Disable the set-top box if it is enabled.
We connect the HDMI cable to the console and TV (the port number is not important).
Open the main settings on the TV.
Find the item “Signal source” (Input, “Input”, etc.).
Select the HDMI interface from the list.
We turn on the set-top box and wait until the TV detects it.

Important! If you connect the console to Sony TVs, then you do not need to select a signal source, because the TV will automatically detect the “native” device.

HD/AV cable

Not all TVs have a modern HDMI interface, so you have to look for alternative options. To connect a game console to an old TV, the AV output is most often used. It provides high quality image and audio transmission.

The cable consists of 5 plugs of different colors. There shouldn't be any problems connecting. Each branch has its own marking: connect yellow to yellow, red to red, etc. All that remains is to select the signal source in the TV menu - AV output. Audio plugs sometimes do not have a distinctive color marking, but are designated by the letters L and R: left channel and right channel, respectively.

Important! The cable is not included with the PlayStation 3, so you will have to purchase it separately.

RCA ("tulips")

This option is also suitable for owners of old TV equipment if it is not possible to output sound and image via HDMI and AV output. The process of connecting the console to the TV via tulips is similar to the previous method. We connect the plugs according to the color marking: yellow – video, white – left audio channel, red – right.

Also, do not forget to enable the corresponding output in the TV menu - RCA interface. Such a connection allows you to broadcast an image of more or less acceptable quality for games - HD (720p). But there may be some problems with reading small text on TV.

S-Video

This is an outdated connection format that noticeably distorts the picture quality. The output is a specific “soap”, and sometimes artifacts and “snow” can be traced. But in the absence of other ports, this option will do just fine.

The plugs must be connected in accordance with the letter markings. One is for video, and the other two are for audio (L + R), similar to “tulips”. There is only one plug on the console side. The cable is not included in the package. After connecting, go to the main menu and set the appropriate signal source – S-Video.

VGA (D-Sub)

Another analog option, which is most often used to connect set-top boxes to computer monitors. Some outdated TV equipment is also equipped with this output. port is intended for image output and nothing more, so for audio transmission you will have to buy a special adapter with one D- Sub interface and a pair of audio plugs.

You can also find AUX format converters on sale, through which you can connect third-party speakers or other headsets. As a rule, they come with an additional power supply. The adapter is connected via an HDMI port. The image quality on TV will be comparable to 720p resolution.

SCART

Very old TVs are equipped with large SCART interfaces. It can also be used to connect a game console, but with some nuances. The fact is that the set-top box itself is not equipped with such a connector, so you will have to additionally purchase a special AV-SCART adapter and the corresponding cable.

That is, here we have an AV cable that connects to the console and an adapter for the TV. Naturally, the quality of the output image will leave much to be desired. “Soap”, “snow” and other artifacts will periodically appear on the TV screen. Broadcasting is possible in 480p resolution – no higher.

Common problems

In some cases, when connecting the PS3 via an HDMI cable, sound is present in the menu, but disappears after starting the video game. Mostly this problem arises due to the fact that the user was connected to one TV for a long time, but then a new device was purchased. The problem becomes especially problematic if you buy equipment from another manufacturer.

Troubleshooting is as simple as possible. Turn off the game console, and then turn it on by holding the Power button for a long time. Hold the button until you hear a second beep. A request for permission to output audio via HDMI will appear on the screen; you need to give your permission. What exactly causes the PS3 not to connect via HDMI after changing TV? It's all about the conflict of sound formats reproduced by televisions.

What to do if there is still no sound? Try a different HDMI cable. We cannot exclude the possibility that this is the problem. If the problem persists, output audio using tulips or digital input.

We sorted out the sound, but quite often there are problems with image transmission. There is no picture, only a black screen is visible. There are several reasons for this problem:

Until recently, the game console was connected to the TV using a different cord. The TV simply failed to detect the new connection type. To fix the problem, reset your PS3 to basic settings. To restore settings to default values, press the Power button and hold it for 10 seconds until you hear 2 beeps;
cable is damaged. The cord is checked for fractures and other mechanical damage using special equipment. You can also try a different cable;
the final transition to connection mode was not made. If, after turning on the console, the TV screen displays a channel, but not loading the set-top box, then you need to change the signal source. The signal source is determined in accordance with the cable used: HDMI, AV, RCA, S-Video. Changing the mode is carried out using the remote control.

Softreset PlayStation 3

Using soft-reset, you can automatically adjust the console settings related to image output. Hold down the PlayStation 3 power button for a few seconds until the console beeps repeatedly. A window with image output settings should now open. Select “automatically” here and restart your device to be safe.

Hold down the On/Off button for approximately 10 seconds to perform a Softreset.
Now reset the image output settings.

Connecting Playstation 3 to a TV via HDMI and what problems there may be

The simplest method, the most common and has the highest image quality. You will additionally need an HDMI cable, since the Playstation 3 does not come with one. Everything is simple here: insert one end of the cable into the game console, and the other into a free connector on the TV. We launch the console and find the HDMI channel to which we connected. What questions may arise:

There is no image - check that the connection is correct, whether you have selected the correct HDMI port, or try a different HDMI cable

There is no sound - the TV or set-top box may have selected a different method for outputting the sound signal. Rummage through the TV settings, but first reset the settings on the PS3: turn it off as standard, and when you turn it on, hold the power button on the set-top box until the second beep, then release it. The console will ask you to specify how to output audio and video. We rent game consoles in Minsk and noticed the following thing: if you connect the console to a modern Samsung TV after a modern LG TV, there is often no sound. Resetting helps, as described above. By the way, for those who live in Minsk, you can rent a PS3 or PS4 from us with a 10% discount. Just say you read it in the article ;). Prices, conditions, etc. - rental of consoles in Minsk.

Why can't TV see PS3?

Situations vary. Let's skip the moments when the PS3 is faulty and focus on the TV itself. You can start with trivial sources of the problem.

The TV does not support the required format. As a rule, this concerns the available ports. Playstation 3 can be connected via a composite cable (Tulip) or the more modern HDMI. But if the device does not support these technologies, then you will not be able to play.
Connection equipment faulty. It also often happens that the cable suddenly stops working. The simplest thing is that it is faulty. Therefore, you just need to replace it.
Settings are lost. Modern TVs have several input ports and all kinds of settings. And it may happen that you simply chose the wrong signal source. Or in the channel settings you have incorrectly defined the resolution, frequency and other parameters. Study them.
Incorrect signal format in the console. Everyone knows how to connect a set-top box to a TV. But not all users are aware that after determining the signal format in the system, when connecting another cable, the image may not be supplied to the TV. For example, the console was connected via composite, and then you decided to switch to HDMI. In this case, you need to reset the signal settings in the set-top box (turn off the device, hold down the power button until 3 beeps sound, and then select the appropriate mode

Now you know why the TV does not see Sony PlayStation 3, and what to do about it. Often the problem lies in the settings or signal format. If the problems have not been resolved, then the source may be deeper - ports in the TV or console. This will require repairs. But for greater accuracy, it doesn’t hurt to try connecting the console to other devices: a monitor from a PC, an additional TV, and so on. And then seek qualified help.

Connecting to a TV via an RCA cable (“tulips”)

If your TV is quite old, it may not have HDMI support. Here the good old tulips that come with the console will come to the rescue. The procedure is the same as with HDMI - insert the tulips into the TV connectors according to color, and the other end into the multi out Playstation 3.

We turn on the AV channel on the TV, then start the set-top box with the power button directly from the console and be sure to hold it until the second beep, otherwise nothing will work. You only need to hold until the second signal the very first time. If the TV is not broken, everything is in order with the connector on the console, and you did everything as described above, then there should be no questions. One problem is that the image will be of lower quality (576p).

How to connect to a monitor and output sound to speakers

Well, what if there is no TV? What then? Then you can connect the PS3 to the monitor and if the monitor does not have built-in speakers, output the sound through the tulips to regular speakers or an optical cable to higher-quality speakers.

Connecting via HDMI to a monitor is no different from the same connection to a TV. In addition to HDMI, you can connect to the monitor via DVI; you will need either an adapter, as in the picture below, or an HDMI to DVI cable.

And remember, you won’t be able to connect to VGA, don’t even try - digital and analog signals are completely different things.

It remains to figure out the sound output if the monitor does not have speakers or a 3.5 mm jack output. There are two more ways to output audio separately:

through the tulips - connect the multi out rca cable to the connector of the set-top box, as in the third picture, and the red and white tulips to the audio input on the speakers - picture below. Usually the output is located behind the speaker in which the amplifier is built. Next, you need to go to the settings on the set-top box at the following points: settings - sound settings - audio output settings and select the most recent option, press X to confirm

via an optical cable - connect one end of the optical cable to the console, the other to the speakers. If you have such speakers and cable, then you know where it all is. All that remains is to go to the settings on the ps3 using the following points: settings - sound settings - audio output settings, and select the second option, press X to confirm.

These are the simplest and most understandable ways to output images from ps3 to various sources, which are accessible to almost everyone. Remember, it is better to purchase a cable or adapter than to break the set-top box.

There is no sound in the game, but there is sound in the menu. What to do?

It happens that when you connect the Playstation 3 to the TV via HDMI, there is sound in the menu, but when you start games it disappears. This usually happens when changing TV. Especially if they are from different manufacturers. This problem can be solved very simply - turn off the console, then turn on the console with the power button on the ps3 itself and hold it until the second beep, then release the button. The set-top box will ask whether to output sound and video via HDMI, to which we, of course, agree. This problem occurs due to a conflict in audio formats played by different TVs.

If there is still no sound, you can try a different HDMI cable. If this does not help, then try outputting the sound through the “tulips” or digital output, as described above in the chapter “How to connect to a monitor and output sound to speakers.”

Thank you very much for your attention to the article. Unfortunately, the comment block is not ready yet. Therefore, if you have any questions, then leave them under a similar video on my YouTube channel. I will be glad to answer all your questions.

Difference between Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 connection

The connection mechanics themselves are not particularly different, but it is worth considering that the fourth generation Sony game console is not equipped with the old interfaces: RCA, AV, S-Video, etc. The emphasis is placed specifically on using the HDMI connector. Of course, the situation can be solved by purchasing the appropriate adapters. However, not in all cases they will work correctly.

For example, the HDMI-VGA converter discussed earlier does not support PS4. Therefore, you must first check with the store to see if the selected adapter is suitable for the console. Why won't my PS3 connect to my TV? Mostly the reason is that the user has not made changes to the signal source. Therefore, be as careful as possible. Be sure to make sure that all plugs are connected correctly.

Of course, HDMI synchronization is the simplest and most effective connection method. This interface provides simultaneous transmission of audio and video signals, as well as transmission of images in maximum resolution.
