How to Use a Sony PS3 Controller as a DVD Remote

In addition to its gaming capabilities, the PlayStation 3 (PS3) also features DVD and Blu-ray support. Similar to a regular DVD remote, the standard PS3 controller can be used to manipulate DVDs. Because it is not a regular DVD remote, it may take some time to get used to controlling DVDs with the PS3 controller. All of the buttons and options available on a regular DVD remote are present on the PS3 controller.
