How to Hook Up a Coaxial Wire to a PS3

The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) is a seventh-generation gaming console that allows users to play PS3 games, along with online games through its PlayStation Network, or games downloaded from the PlayStation Store. Generally, the PS3 connects to a television by means of an RCA cable that comes with the system. However, if you need to connect the PS3 to your television's coaxial port, you can do so with special converter equipment.
