vinitwins Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 1. use both the regular AV & the hdmi-dvi cable - you can set audio & video outputs on different cables 2. no ps2 support on 40gb ps3 3. try creating a US account 4. this one is on the house - try searching the forums!

Falcon Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi, I recently bought a 40GB PS3. I have a few questions. 1. I am planning to buy an HDMI to DVI cable so that I can connect it to my monitor, but the monior doesn't have speakers. How do I get the audio? 2. Are PS2 games compatible with this version of PS3? I looked around but couldn't get a concrete answer about this version. 3. I am not able to connect to Home. I get an error saying "this content is not available on your account". There is only one user account on the system and I have disabled all parental control on it. Any ideas? Thanks Nishith You will need this if your printer has one input pin Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quasi Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 This is the risk with every electronic equipment bought outside india unless you have international guarentee i was an 'okay regular' poster on the old forums but just never got down to posting here (you may remember me as the guy who posted that he had msg5 typo . Following is my problem all help is greatly appreciated: I bought my ps3 from japan towards the end of 06. it worked fine and i have been using it regularly. two days ago it stopped reading discs for a bit but started reading them again. Yesterday it totally stopped reading any discs whatsoever. belive me when i say that i am unhappy. how can I get it fixed? i know Sony India cannot help, i called them up and they said that they only did straight replaces and only for those with the india warranty i.e. bought in india. grey places like palika will be my last resort. thanks.

bossplaya Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 How to Connect PS 3( and XBOX 360) to teh Internet via. Internet Sharing ( me using Hathway Internet/broadband and has a STATIC IP):First, connect ur MODEM to ur PC via. USB, then connect to teh internet to see whther u can browse teh net or not, if not then do all teh appropriate stuff to get online(do teh IP settings and sh*t provided by ur ISP) now, when u successfully complete teh first step, connect ur PS 3 to ur PC via. Ethernet ports(LAN Cable). then u'll get a new connection, right click on it and do the following settings. (except for teh DNS server, put ur own DNS servers given to u by ur ISP) once done ur new connection will have limited or no connectivity, thats why i'm here u newbs( call me GOD, or else i won't help, muahahaha, neways, thy shall continue), then right click on ur USB connection, go to teh advance TAB in teh Internet Connection Sharing CHECK FIRST OPTION-> the Allow other network users..... and DE-CHECK the second option, something like this pic: once all teh steps are done go to teh PS 3, test ur Internet connection, USE AUTOMATIC SETTINGS, and voila, i just saved ur a*s from getting fried of TENSION whether u can go online or not, wuhuuuu.... but to connect online, u needz to keep ur PC on. this same method works for XBOX 360, follow teh steps at this page, the metod is last one there, called Shared connection with Microsoft Windows Internet Connection Sharing, teh site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908885#4 thanks a lot dude, this works like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karooo Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 playstation-3-full-range-rgb-over-hdmi-explanation-test Introduction The PS3 is a beast of a system with an unfortunate emphasis on function over ease of use, even people with a fairly hardcore technical background might be baffled by some of the deeper settings, leaving regular consumers to google search and hope for the best information to come up. This is like reaching into a cat’s behind and hoping to find expensive coffee, it’s vaguely possible there will be success but honestly how would you even know? Yes, I am relating the great wealth of information online in this situation to a cat’s bottom, and content. If you have found this article then I must assume you are at least somewhat familiar with the process of tuning a high-definition LDC television for your home environment and as such I will not delve into that topic for the sake of keeping this simple, links provided on such topics at the end of the article. DISCLAIMER Nothing heavy, I just want to make it clear this is a document for those who want the information and more importantly I did not create the test image. I found it a long time ago, and have simply kept it handy to test televisions. You can find it online with Google Image Search so I imagine there is no harm providing another location for it. Although I can see no method of damaging equipment with this image, if it does, you did it and not me. Other equipment I am absolutely sure this works for all HDMI connected equipment with a capability to modify the range of RGB, I have only the PS3. I would love to provide information on the Xbox 360 later on but to do so I will need to borrow one. Updates will come if that happens, although this information is generic enough you should be able to apply it elsewhere. How this works / RGB As I understand it the Playstation 3 when connected to a television with an HDMI cable will output all “computer” content such as games and other applications like Life with Playstation, Home and VidZone with an RGB signal. Video that comes from DVD, Blu-Ray or AVCHD discs may be shown using RGB or Y Pb / CB Pr / Cr and the user can select which to use or set the function to automatic. Video from the internal hard disk, USB drive or other non commercial disc format such as DivX files appear to be RGB only. I can not honestly tell you what the difference is between RGB & Y Pb / CB Pr / Cr as it is a far deeper topic, what I can tell you though is that on my Sony Bravia KDL-32V2000 which supports only Limited RGB, Y Pb / CB Pr / Cr video looks identical to Limited RGB and setting automatic appears to select Y Pb / CB Pr / Cr anyway. That aside I will only discuss RGB from now on in this document. The Red Green Blue colour system allows for 256 shades of those three primary colours, mixing them in varying gradients to create the colour of each pixel on the screen; 0 represents the total absense of a colour where 255 represents a full presence of it. R0,G0,B0 is black, R255,G255,B255 is white and just to make it clear R255,G128,B0 would be light orange. The issue is that HDMI equipped HDTV sets until recently were not all capable of showing the full 256 gradients and were limited to a range of 16 to 235 (220 gradients). As you can imagine R16,G16,B16 is fairly dark but it is not absolute black and R235,G235,B235 is rather bright but not quite white. From what I can work out (given the lack of actual official information) I would have to conclude that when the PS3 is working inside the limited colour space it will take any shade below 16 and push it up so that 16 becomes 0 according to the television and conversely 235 becomes 255 on the bright end. If this is true then the source signal is being compressed into a space with less gradient option and thus less detail will be possible. It does work better than the other option however because when you enable Full Range RGB the PS3 no longer applies this conversion and sends the source to the television as it is, your television however either cannot process or cannot display anything below 16 or above 235 and it simply vanishes from the screen. The best explanation for this I can offer is when you have a dark but detailed image in limited space, perhaps you can see a face in the shadows which you can just about make out (think The Dark Knight) and all is well but should you push that image across in the full range the face simply vanishes, it is an absolute black area because the details were provided in shades the TV can not show. Similar for very bright scenes. Many people do not seem to realise this and are adamant that full is simply better because of the face value deeper colours, the ones that are inside the range of the television and could simply be corrected with the televisions colour controls. How to test your TV Follow these instructions with your initial RGB range set to Limited. All settings will be performed under: Settings > Display Settings > RGB Full Range (HDMI) 1. You need to take the following image (1920 by 1080 but works just fine at lower resolutions) and without modifying it get it onto your Playstation 3. Use a USB stick or download it in the browser for example. brightness_test 2. With RGB Limited show the image full screen using the Photo menu, best done in a dark room. 3. Adjust the brightness of the television upwards until you can see most of, if not all of the 12 smaller rectangles. The rectangles range from R1,G1,B1 to R16,G16,B16 and the background is R0,G0,B0. The PS3 is pushing these up into a range of 16 onwards and all televisions should be able to show at least most of them, you may need to turn off any automatic black or contrast controls of the TV. 4. Once you see the rectangles go back to the settings menu and switch the RGB range to Full, you will notice the screen darken a bit. 5. Display again the picture. If you still see the rectangles it would appear your HDTV can process and display Full Range RGB over HDMI. You may need to further increase the screen brightness to see them. If this is the case you should leave it enabled to enjoy the full range of RGB and adjust the TV settings accordingly to provide the best picture. 6. If you do not see the rectangles even with the screen brightness at max, your television does not support this mode and you need to leave it set to limited or you will lose fine detail in anything shown using RGB. You may wish to check the televisions advanced automatic contrast and correction settings before coming to this conclusion though, a lot of image processing happens in a modern set. Conclusion / evidence I cannot explain yet the difference of HDMI RGB vs HDMI Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr although I do not intend to simply stop looking. For now this article is covering what I intended and I suggest you experiment to see for yourself the amount of detail lost when Full Range is enabled on a television that cannot show it. Any comments are welcome. I do not mind being told I am wrong, just so long as there is information to back it up, I will modify this page as any relevant information becomes available. Here is a small gallery of pictures I took using the Batman Begins Blu-Ray to illustrate the huge difference that is not immediately apparent to the user. Pay attention to the detail in dark areas. There are three shots of each paused scene, one for RGB Limited (which my TV supports), one for RGB Full and one for Y Pb / CB Pr / Cr. Since my TV does not support RGB Full you will see a drastic loss of dark details. I used a camera which is of course not ideal but you will certainly see the differences. http://www.spitelords.net/2009/06/24/plays...planation-test/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
