How to Sync a PC to a PS3

PlayStation3 (PS3) supports media server DLNA connections, allowing you to connect the PS3 to your PC. Once connected, you can share such data as videos, music and photos, with other DLNA-enabled devices. Your PS3 must be connected to your home network via a wired or wireless connection. The transfer speeds for wireless connections can vary depending on the strength of your wireless signal.

  Open Windows Media Player on the computer that you want to sync to the PS3. Click the "Library" icon.
