sony v3000 pip: Is there a way to play my playstation 3 and watch tv at the same time?

No there is not, PIP is to display 2 cable channels at the same time with the cable going straight to your TV. No there is not a device that will do what you are wanting

well, there is a functionality that displays on the screen the other sources in small windows if that's what you mean. But I think that your television set fas to be compatible, PIP or picture in picture.

There is another solution at http://www.schmartstuff.com/. For $35 you can buy a USB dongle that supports IR. It blends in well and works good. You have to customize your buttons for the activity you designate your PS3 for. It does not switch the PS3 on or off, but if you're watching a BD you have to put the disc in and take the disc out. Turning it off manually isn't a huge inconvienecne.

Yes and No... PIP on this TV lets you view 1 digital (HDMI) input and 1 analog (coax, composite, component, or VGA/RGB) input at the same time. You cannot view 2 digital inputs or 2 analog inputs at the same time. Assuming you are using HDMI for both your computer and cable/sat, you will need to switch one of them to an analog input to use the PIP feature for it. You could either use VGA for your computer, or use component for your cable/sat (both are capable of HD, so you really don't lose anything, you just need some extra cables). The easiest solution would be to use VGA for your computer instead of HDMI/DVI (most video card outputs have at least one combination DVI port which can output VGA with a cheap adapter, these adapters are usually included with the video cards, or the computer if the card came preinstalled). If VGA is not an option for you, then you will have to use an analog connection for your cable/sat. Most cable/sat receiver boxes have multiple video outputs that can be hooked up and used simultaneously. You can leave your HDMI hooked up, and simply add component cables to it, just remember to switch your TV input over to component when you need to use PIP. NOTE: Unlike HDMI, which carries both video and audio, analog video cables only carry video signals, so you will also need to run stereo RCA cables as well to get sound through the TV.

You can use this with a ps3. You have to get a converter like this one: http://www.schmartstuff.com/ps3irpr3.htmlWith this converter you can program all the functions into this remote. : ) I just purchased this remote, I will be programming my TV,dish network box, and receiver tonight, and I will be ordering that converter shortly. Be careful not to get the IR2BT converter, some of the functions are disabled using that one due to ps3 recent firmware update.

You have three modes of operation - normal, picture and sound. You should assign PIP controls in picture mode.

I do not own a PS3. But, from personal experience with this device, it should work with any combination of HDMI devices. The Auto Switching feature does work well. Although, at times, it may take a while for it to switch sources. When this happens, I turn off my TV for a few seconds then turn it back on -- make sure the device you want to use is On before you turn the TV back on. Also, the Auto Switching is organized from 1-3. So, a device on port 1 takes priority over ports 2 and 3 even if they are turned on. Port 2 takes priority over port 3, etc..I personally love it and recommend it. It's inexpensive and if it doesn't work properly Amazon will refund your money. I do not own a PS3.

But one question that wasn't answered is -- can you have the sound from either of the pictures? On my (old) Sony TV, I can use PIP and have the sound coming from either the 'big' picture or the 'small' picture. Admittedly, with the way I have things set up now, I rarely use the TV's PIP, but I still use my external hard drive/DVD's PIP, usually between what it's playing and one of its inputs. (*It* can't do sound from either PIP.)I know a lot of people don't think PIP is useful, but personally, I use it *all* the time. Even if doing general "view the to do list" or "skim through the guide listings" on my Tivo while watching/listening to something else.

I have no experience with ps3 and separate outputs to different tv's. However it should work OK?
1318203
To be honest, I have no idea. the way I have it is one ps4, to display in 2 HD tvs, both work fine at the same time. Don't know how it'll work if you connect 2 computers.

If for PS3, you must set up in the game menu for the game. THEN use the TV spilt setting on TV. Hope this helps.

How about the PS3 adaptor (made by Harmony) can I combine these two products to control the PS3?
653415
Yes, just have the TV setting to the other input (rather than watching from the HDD/DVD player) I am actually watching TV right now and channel surfing while the player is recording Mystery from PBS)

I am not sure but I would wager that it could, I have this tv but have never used pip

U can connect cable box and ps3 to hdmi ports on tv. Then hdmi arc from tv to soundbar. The soundbar switches automatically between the 2 devices.

If you have a usb port you can connect the ready broadband but, I don't know how you would install the drivers via ps3

Connect everything (PS3, Directv, surround sound receiver) to your television via HDMI, then run an optical cable from your tv to the surround receiver. Presto.
