    Idea for headphone use with PS3 !!??

    I send my PS3 audio signal to my Rotel using an optical cable. I quickly learned that these digital connections and the sound that the receiver decodes from them will not be transferred to the analog tape outs of the unit so I could hook my headphone amp to it. The PS3 of course does not have analog RCA outs but some sort of proprietary plug in connection that branches out into analog outs with a special cable which I have course lost over tiime.

    Now, instead of buying that 'special' cable, I have just thought of the idea of possibility of using my TV's analog outs to send to the headphone amp. Do you think this might work?.

    PS3>toslink out to Receiver> Receiver decodes sound when I'm using the amp and speakers for sound>But also sends audio signal to tv Via HDMI > Dan plugs RCA patch cords from the Analog outs from back of TV to headphone amp and Voila!! I get analog sound from my headphone amp!.

    What do you think?

      I think you're spending way too much time trying to figure out a solution to a $0.49 problem.

                  You could get these for $0.16 more.

                  if you have some extra RCA audio cables lying around.

                          LOL
                          Sorry, but I have to agree with Kevin though.
                          You don't have to make it too complicated.

                          You might also be able to find them for free at a Saturday morning yard sale. :T

I want to use my headphones via my headphone amp to listen to BD and DVD movies and since my Rotel does not pass digital signals to it's analog out's, I was forced to buy...

                                  Hey all,

                                  I seem to have lost that cable that comes with the PS3 that hooks up via this funky cable and ends up with 2 RCA analog outs.

                                  Does anyone know where I might get one here in Canada ? I need one to use the PS3 with headphones. Thx.

                                  I am running an optical input to Video1 from a satellite receiver. I have 5 cable outs of 5 channels (RCA audio) outputs going to amp, but need to have additional 2 channel outs to the TV so I can have amp system off for quite viewing. My question is, when I set record and zone outs to Video1, I get...

                                  Hi there

                                  Is there anyone out there that benchmark a standalone player and PS3 for audio quality?? I asked my dealer and says that a customer tried that PS3 and well, returned it since ps3 has poor audio component parts...

                                  Anyone can comment/share?

                                  Thanks...

                                  Hi,

                                  I've been running a 1056 with a 7.1 speaker setup for a couple of years now, and started watching Blu-Ray movies from a PS3 80GB model last year. The PS3 is connected to the 1056 with digital coax and component.

                                  Since my current setup is limited to 5.1 and 6.1, both...
