As soon as I get my free ones I will post the results. Have both systems and prefer my PS3 for an all in one machine with minimum cables. Every BR so far has been perfect. 30 in my library. Broke down and bought the HD sampler to check out my A2 and it played fine. I will not invest in any HD...
Thats what I did and am happy so far. Time will tell but I do have the PS3 60 version and have not heard any bad things about the other 3 versions. Wireless internet and media readers are not that important to most people and the 40 version may be the way to go and the cheapest. Have not bought...
AVS Forum Linear or Bitstream sound...need a geek to help me with this. - PLAYSTATION®3 General - PlayStation.com Forums Bitstream is basically the PS3 sending audio signal directly to the reciever and the reciever decodes it. Linear PCM is the PS3 decoding it, then sending the...
I could not get a complete audio signal on PCM/I had to use bitstream with my optical cable to my receiver. Remember there are several settings in the PS3 menu for audio if you have one. Always try the highest resolution first for your video settings and leave it there if it works. Some have an...
Ditto//// I use my PS3 all the time. I can not say how long it will last, but ask me 2 years from now. LOL PS/most players have mounting restrictions the PS3 does not have. You don't even see it next to my black TV vertically mounted.
I bought one of each format but prefer my PS3 for everyday use. I think you will find that if you shop the sales you can get one of each cheaper and that will allow you to add a second BR/HD TV in another room. Working on my 3rd 1080P TV and I have the 46/2500 Sony as well as the Sharp 52". I...
The PS3 does a better job than my A2 for upscaling also. Before Sony did the UPconvert FW drop we were all watching in 480 or something and it was fine.
Ditto/the PS3 set up is a bear and has at least two places to set audio. Check all the menus out in the PS3. Also I discovered last night that I needed bitstream set for optical to the 7200. Otherwise only two channels.
Also that may be a set up issue with your Yama. Since you are telling it you have two video sources it may be confused. Most default to HDMI.
Just use your HDMI in and componant out on your YAMA
The PS3 is an oustanding BR and DVD player. I may get another one for a spare room if there are any great BF deals. I just bought two Toshiba A2s on sale at Walmart for $98 each, but the upconvert is not very good so far. Still checking these units out as they are Christmas presents and I do not...
ditto/Love my PS3. I am still trying to figure out all the features of this beast. I think you can hook up a keyboard and mouse and surf the net. Just have not tried that yet.
Updated to 1.90 and the system locked up before the actual install. Turned the unit off for 30 minutes and back on and it did the update fine. Customer service told me it was toast and to send it back when it locked. That is when I decided to cold reboot and then turn on the box normally. The...
