Confusion, PS3's and CRT's

POSTED BY: peodude 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Right, i have a CRT monitor, which has VGA, and i have a CRT TV, which has the usual, a Scart , and a Red White Yellow connection, called Component?

I also have a Avious DRW1029 which i believe has composite in and out and s-video

How can i connect a PS3, which i believe only has a HDMI connection, to either of these, preferably the TV?

Its composite not Component, component is when you get a red and white audio and a green blue and red video input.

A PS1 or PS2 scart cable would work fine.

The lead supplied with the PS3 is the one you use, if you only have a HDMI to HDMI (Not supplied in the box by Sony)lead then you won't be able to connect it directly.

Thanks for that, yes then, i have Composite on the DVD Recorder (5 sockets) and Component on the TV (3 sockets)

I have a PS1 here, but IIRC it just goes to the aerial socket.

So i need either a PS2 Scart lead, or i can use a composite lead? Do Zavvi sell either of these, as i'll be down there on Monday, and i'll be trying to make them through one of these leads in

Other way around Composite is red white and yellow component is the one with 5 cables.

And yes the basic cable that the ps3 comes with works.
