    As long as they use standard USB drivers, which I imagine they do, then they will be fine. You can also use a wireless keyboard and mouse too if you'd prefer that.

    That's right, it's only HDMI enabled devices that carry the device signature and they should hand-shake when connected correctly. What the auto setup does is hand-shake with the equipment to acquire the supported modes then resets your display to one that can be read on your screen and it also...

    To be honest, I don't post that before as I thought you was the obvious answer and that you'd feel insulted if I mentioned it lol! :laugh: I can't think why there would be any problems with SD stuff but if you do get any post here and I'm sure somebody will have suggestions. One thing that's...

    Has anybody tried Pirates of The Caribbean 3 on their PS3 yet? The first blu-ray works perfectly for me but when using the extras disc I get this: It seems like the background pictures are missing from the menus. Not found details of anybody having the same problem with theirs online. I...

    The only difference with the newer models when it comes to Blu-ray playback is that because it uses the cooler 65nm chips it runs quieter then the older models due to reduced fan usage!

    It really depends on what you want to use your PS3 for. It's a really good media centre so you can store videos, music and photos on it if you want to. The formats that are supported keep getting added to and one of the later Home videos showed DivX being used: In Australia Sony are trying...

    Yeah, the older Dolby and DTS formats work perfectly via optical. It won't support the newer formats (below) are sending too much data for the optical cable to be able to handle so I believe that it downconverts them to stereo. Dolby Digital Plus vs. current Dolby Digital Supports true...

    The PS3 works fine via HDMI at 720p. Not seen that projector in action but as the PS3 is a top rate Blu-ray player there should be no problems from the PS3 side. It doesn't support IR remotes natively but you can buy IR receivers to plug into the PS3 if you need to. The SixAxis has all the...

    The PS3 is hardware compatible with 1.1 since launch. I remember reading one of those blogs by some AV engineers who did all sorts of tests at launch and the PS3 can decode 1 1080p picture at full speed without struggling using only 3 of the 7 available SPEs. That leaves another 4 for the...

    No problem!:) It'll play PS1 games straight out of the box according to Sony. Downloadable PS1 games are fairly big business for Sony in Japan so that'll keep being supported I imagine. It'd be nice to support both PS1 & PS2 but indefinitely but that costs money and with the PS2 being so...

    I don't see why this would be a problem to most people. I very rarely use any of them. Sometimes I recharge my controller using them but that can be done on any USB port on any machine. I may well add an external hdd sometime in the future but I'm not sure that you'd need more than one at a...

    Basically with 120htz it shows the 60htz frames but estimates another frame between each of those. This should producer a smoother picture but many people prefer the 60htz option if possible as it's usually the native resolution. What I'd recommend that you do is just try different settings...

    The reason that the PS3 uses number ranges rather than age settings is quite simply because each region has different ratings across the globe and because you can play region free Blu-rays on it. All you need to do is set against a film that you don't want your kids to be able to watch.

    They haven't announced anything as certain when it comes to the AV side yet. The software engineers have previously stated that they believe that v1.9 is about 40% of what is possible on the PS3 in the AV department. v1.8 did offer some serious improvements to quite a few areas but was still...

    Or just switch it on using the standby switch (front right) but hold it down until the PS3 boots up, it'll auto set all those for you via HDMI.
