How to Make the Audio Work on a PS3

Cable Connections

• 1

  Examine the audio input connection options for your television or A/V receiver. Determine the best audio connection for your particular application.

• 2

  Consider using an available HDMI input connection or digital optical connection on the A/V receiver or television for the best audio quality. Use the standard "red" and "white" SCART connectors if your television or A/V receiver lacks any available HDMI ports or digital optical inputs.

• 3

  Connect the desired cable from the PS3 to the corresponding "INPUT" on the television or A/V receiver. The HDMI cable interface carries both audio and video signals, eliminating the need for the supplied composite SCART or optional component video cable.

  Turn on the television and PS3 game console. Turn on the connected A/V receiver and select the appropriate input source, if applicable.

  Place a check next to each supported sound field; refer to the documentation supplied with your television or audio receiver to determine the appropriate formats. Depending upon the connection type, certain sound formats may not be selectable.

  Save the audio settings after selecting the supported sound formats from the list. Exit the settings menu to complete the setup process.
