Hi-
I am considering grabbing a PS3 bundle (which will likely be followed by a TV upgrade
) but I have a few questions (which .
1. When connected via HDMI, will the PS3 still output a signal over the component cables?
I have a front-screen projector that only has component inputs, and the new TV would have HDMI. If it matters: when I would want the component link active, the TV would be OFF.
If NOT- how difficult is it to switch from component HDMI on the PS3?
The tv would support 1080p, while the projector supports only 1080i (which it would downconvert to 480p)
2. Is there yet a way to control a PS3 with an IR remote? I have a pronto that I would like to use to control it for movies. I saw a thread about a usb dongle and other things, but it seemed kind of convoluted.
Thanks,
