    Quick PS3 question..

    Anyone know if you can run HDMI out and component video/analog audio out of the PS3 at the same time?

    I've got a customer wanting to replace his original Sony Blu-ray with a PS3, but it's being used for the whole-house system as well.

    Right now it's HDMI out to the theater in 1080p with digital audio and component video in 1080i and analog audio out the the Autopatch matrix switchers.

    I think it would still be ok if the PS3 was limited to outputting 1080i, but it would have to output component and HDMI simultaneously; and digital audio (either over HDMI or optical) and analog audio simultaneously.

    Anyone know if its possible?

    You can have them both hooked up at the same time, but it will not display them at the same time.

    There's a display setting in the system portion that you have to choose one or the other, there's no option for both.

    I also just checked and hooked the component up (from my old PS2) and it will indeed not display both at the same time.
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

      Kevin: yeah, I'm in the same boat with wanting to distribute BD (and other PS3 products) to my all-home system, but the PS3 won't do different video outputs.

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

          You can buy a component video cable for it. (that's the multi in multi-AV).
