How to Enable HDMI for the PS3 for a Sanyo TV

Sony's PlayStation 3, or PS3, can output High Definition and Standard Definition video. If your Sanyo television includes an HDMI, or High Definition Multimedia Interface port, then you will be able to take advantage of the PS3's High Definition capability at 1080p, 1080i, 720p or 480p by using an optional HDMI cable to connect the two devices, and making some settings changes. The HDMI cable also carries the audio signal.

  Plug the HDMI cable into an available jack on the Sanyo TV and into the HDMI jack on the PS3. The HDMI jack on the PS3 is the second from the left on the back. It's next to the ethernet port, which looks like an over-sized phone jack.
