Can I plug in my PS3 thru a optical cableor do I need a splitter?

I doubt you can plug in an optical cable - you may want to use a splitter if you wish to use more auxiliary devices. Since it's a computer multimedia speaker, it wasn't really designed for use with the PS3. What I did was plug an aux cable from the Bose to the monitor/tv that was hooked up to the PS3 via HDMI. Hope this helps!

Like everyone else says, there is no optical plug so you would need to use a splitter.

This has no optical input. You need a splitter from the AV outputs to these speakers. They are RCA.

The only use for the optical out that I can see is to send stereo sound to an amp or receiver. Its just a different medium than using the stereo white/red rca connectors. Any sound that comes into the tv, basically standard coaxial cable, would be output to the receiver.To me this is pointless because if you have a receiver to begin with, just hook the video signals to the tv and the audio signals to the receiver. Just use the tv as a monitor.The PS3 might have a setting in the unit to enable sound through optical out.

No, the PS3 lacks an IR Port. Checkout this for starters: http://reviews.cnet.com/4321-7847_7-6644963.html

I used mine to connect my router to Xbox 360 and it works fine. I don't see any reason it shouldn't work with a PS3. Hope that helps. BTW, I don't know if you care about the color or the cable. I don't care but as an FYI I bought, the grey cables as they were the cheapest and cables I got actually look closer to white than grey.

I use RCA cables and it works just fine. Switch back and forth between my TV and PS3.

You can connect your sound bar to your p3 of 4...it connects via digital optical cable...but it's better to connect your ps3 to your TV via hdmi and your sound bar to you tv as well via the optical cable

If your system has an optical cable, such as the PS 3, all you have to do is unplug the optical cord from the subwoofer and plug that into the same port on your other system.

nope this cable is only for audio but it can be used on the PS3 if ur hooking it up to home theater or some other sound system

Probably YES. Note that you must have an ordinary wall outlet to power the splitter.

I guess you do. My understanding is that the device can decode either PCM or DTS signals. If your PS3 delivers this type of signal in the optical port, then you are good to go. Just, expect a little delay from the device, which is not really evident, untill yo set the TV speakers and the device at the same time. Sound becomes with a little echoed, but its minimal. If you just want to turn off the TV speakers and use headphones only, it will work like a breeze!

yes, but I would suggest looking at monoprice.com's splitters. Few more bucks, but more reliable.

can i hook up my dvd upconverter surround sound system to the tv with hdmi and connect a optical cable to the ps3 and also a hdmi to the tv from ps3 would that work good?

You probably can, but why not get Sony's "PS3 Component AV Cable"? It's $16.28. http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Component-AV-Cable-Playstation-3/dp/B000MIXFWA

You need a splitter, you take the cable from the wall jack into a coax splitter. One split goes to the set top box of your TV, the other to the Actiontec. You connect the ethernet jack to the PS4 and you're up and working. Using mine on PS3 that way works great.

One problem with using the TV as the switcher, i.e. all hdmi devices plug into the Tv and then the Tv's optical out goes to receiver, is that when you watch blu-ray movies on your PS3 and they are DTS 5.1/DTS HD MA tracks, your PS3 will not be able to send DTS 5.1 to your TV. TVs can do DD 5.1, but not DTS 5.1. So even if you bitstream form the blu-ray, the PS3 is going to send 2 channel audio. therefore it is better to hook up the PS3's optical out to the receiver directly. That way on blu-ray's that have only DTS audio, you're not stuck with two channel audio.

No splitter.You'll have to purchase one separately It does, however, come with the power supply. You'll need to supply the coaxial cable, too.

You need 1 optical digital from ps3 out to turtle b receiver in and 1 more optical digital to your home theater in ( configure your ps3 audio to optical digital audio or both)
