4.0 out of 5 stars Good cable, good quality. Packaging over the top. December 8, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
The PlayStation 3 Component AV cable is really for two types of customers: those with a PS3 who have a first generation HDTV and those who have a Playstation 2 with a HDTV.

If you have a PS3, then your best bet is HDMI. It's all digital and provides the best clarity. In addition, it is only one single cable for video and audio as opposed to 5 separate connections. There would be no point to buy this cable for your PS3 and HDTV unless you have a first-generation HDTV that does not have a HDMI or DVI input (if you have a DVI input, you can buy a cable or adapter that allows HDMI to DVI connections).

If you have a Playstation 2, this cable is great to use for 480P (progressive scan output) or for usage with Gran Turismo in 1080i mode. Component is also noticeably clearer than S-Video or Composite out. If you don't have a HDTV though, the difference with component versus S-video or composite is not nearly as noticeable and may not be worth it.

Now onto the Sony component cable itself.

Pros:
- excellent quality
- the cable is very flexible and routes easily. It doesn't remain in a twisted or coiled form like some other cables
- the component jacks go easily into the TV. They are sized great and go in easily. I've used Monster-branded component cables for the PS2/PS3, and they require too much force to go in and out of the jacks. It felt like it was putting too much undue stress on the TV jacks.
- the MultiAV connector goes in very tight into the PS2/PS3
- cable rubber / plastic is high quality and doesn't feel sticky or smelly like some other cables.

Cons:
- the packaging is over the top. Sony used heavy thick clear plastic as the box. It's difficult to cut open, and an environment disaster. This item is a perfect candidate for Amazon's Frustration Free packaging.

P.S. If you have trouble getting output with this cable, make sure in the PS2 setup, the component out is set to CYPbPr rather than RGB. The catch-22 is that you can't see the screen to set this with the component cable already plugged in. However, all PS2s come with the basic composite AV cable, so you should use this to set the component out first before plugging in the component AV cable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Same as PS2 one, but better quality November 3, 2007
I didn't realize that the one I have on my PS2 would work on my PS3 when I ordered this.

I was so impressed by the quality that I kept it and am currently using it (as opposed to using the PS2 one that I already had).

Well made - does the job. BUT if your TV supports HDMI use the HDMI NOT this...

4.0 out of 5 stars Component Cables look great October 5, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was concerned that I would lose some picture quality using component cable instead of HDMI. That was not the case.. the picture looks great! And the BlueRay picture is awesome. Was quite surprised how well the PS3 upscaled regular DVD's to HD.

If you don't have an HDMI port on the back of your older TV, and all you have is the component port connections, you'll need this! It works for us!

Works pretty good for non HDMI TVs but the standard PS3 cables that come with the system work just as well as these.

Great substitution for hd output if your tv doesnt have hdmi input, generally older tv. It doesn't support full HD 1080P but 1080i still awesome.

Did you mix up the red video input from the red audio input? That could be the problem. Try switching them.

Actually, you can hook up the PS3 via component cables to your 1080i HDTV and you will get A 1080i high definition signal, a noticeable improvement over the standard cable that comes with a PS3. However, you will not be able to upscale regular DVDs through a component cable. Upscaling requires an... Read more

Quick question on using this cable for ps2 with hdtv and receiver
Should be no problem doing that. I used svideo into my reciever and left the audio left and right of the svideo cable unplugged and used the optical out on the ps2 to connect to the receiver and it works fine. So yes you should be just fine doing it.

difference between component and av cable
T.C.,

Some insight for you on this topic: The component cable is only for video purposes. Much like the S-Video cable (good picture) and the HDMI cable (best picture). So this will only get you the picture. Component is better than S-video.

To receive 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound, you'll need... Read more
