Everything you need to know about PS3 ports

The PS3's launch in Europe, Australia, and other PAL territories just concluded. There's a lot of new PS3 owners out there, and to help them all familiarize themselves with their brand new next-gen videogame console, CVG has posted a rough guide to the PS3's ports.

Everything from the back of the console, the front, even the peripherals are covered in the article. Here's a short excerpt (all of these are found at the back of the console):

Sony PS3 - Image 1 HDMI. High-Definition Multimedia Interface port capable of transporting you into a new era of quality visuals (but remember - a HDMI cable must be bought separately).

LAN. The Ethernet cable supplied with your PS3 connects you directly to the Internet provided you have a service provider. You can also connect wirelessly via a Wi-Fi USB dongle.

Optical Digital Out. For Dolby Digital Surround Sound, DTS and to connect to other audio devices that support digital out such as an AV Receiver.

AV Multi Out. For Composite, HD Ready, S-Video or Scart connections. The PS3 comes with a standard A/V composite cable but to get the most benefit from PS3's 1080p output you will need a HDMI cable and a HDTV that supports 1080p.

On/Off Switch. Standard switch for firing up your PS3. Obviously...

AC Power Cord. As the PS3 has an internal power supply the AC power cord bundled with your system is slim and discrete, unlike the python that's swallowed a brick you get with the Xbox 360.

For the full guide, click on the "read" link below. You guys might also want to give out a tips to new PS3 owners, so leave a comment below if you do.

here's a tip I learned the hard way. I have all of my consoles feed into a hi def control center. It feeds my tv as well as my surround receiver. The PS3 will only allow the choice of one audio out. So if I want surround, I have to go into the ps3's menu and switch to the digital signal and back again if it's late and I can keep the volume low by using the tv set. Pisses me off since the ps2 allowed both audio outs to work at the same time, as did the first xbox and now the 360.

Not a huge one, but a design flaw nonetheless, hopefully it's an issue that can be solved in software.

I must say that's a pretty weak article considering the recent events....

# one question — Guest 2007-03-25 05:36

when you turn off the ps3 from the xmb does it really turn off. or do you need to flip the main power switch in the back?

# answer — Guest 2007-03-25 06:08

It enters standby as do almost all electronics. It does this so when you hold down the button on the controller it can recieve the signal and turn on. The touch sensitive buttons also need that small ammount of power to work.

# AV Multi-out — Guest 2007-03-25 07:35

The AV multi-out is the same as the PSOne and PS2, so you can reuse your component/RGB cables

# not that thin — comedy 2007-03-25 11:47

the wires are all pretty thick, anyone notice that? apart from the av cord.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ T

Wrong answer. Perfect example of why gamer shouldn't pretend to know anything about technology.
