My HTS is a Sony Bravia DAV-HDX265 with 1 TV/Video (audio in R/L), 1 monitor out (S video/video), 1 digital media port, 1 component video out, 1 hdmi out. I have the 40 GB PS3 (used mainly for Blu Ray)with 1 hdmi out, analog a/v multi x 1, digital out optical x 1, and 2 usbs. The Direct TV reciever has 1 s-video, 1 out to TV co -axial, 2 video out (yellow), 2 audio outs (red and white), and 1 usb port. I was wondering what was the best way to hook all this up for best sound and picture and the hardware that I will need to do it?

Answer 1

First off make things simple man holy c**p.

Use HDMI for the PS3 for bluray playback

Use the component audio for the HTS.

Upgrade to hdtv receiver for Directtv service and use HDMI for this unit.

Answer 3

All devices (ps3, dvd player, etc) should be hooked into the inputs in the back, (HDMI for anything with HDMI outputs available)  Audio out to a reciever that then will output to your theater system. Cable will go in the only coax (unless you have hi def then use the HDMI)  your sound system can be a million different types depending on your budget, talk to a stereo rep at the nearest electronics store (Best buy, etc)
