How to Connect a PS3 to a TV Without HDMI

The PS3 supports high definition gaming and can even play Blu-Ray discs. The HDMI cable is the highest quality audio video cable that can be used with the PS3. However, that doesn't mean you have to connect your TV via HDMI. Many televisions don't support HDMI. Thankfully, the PS3 has many other audio video options, including composite, component and S-video.
