Play Station as DVD player

15 replies

Many many thanks to all for replies! To make it absolutely clear, however:

1. Can I use my Beo4 to control PS3 (Yes?)

2. Do I need the NYKO converter to do that?

3. Can I (conveniently) use the PS3 ('s DVD player) by pressing "DVD" on the Beo4? (assuming it is not reserved for DVD1).

Hello!

1: Yes.

2: Yes, knowing that the ON/OFF function is not avaiblable with the Nyko dongle. You can create a Beo5 macro for turning the PS3 off.

3: Yes.

i've had 3 ps3's - the first two packed up ( so much for their reliability )

nice machine but you can get a better upscaling dvd for less money plus the ps3 has problems with it's audio out , something to do with not decoding true hd and dts master hd - i don't really care as i use mine to play games mostly and the odd blu ray

my brother bought a pioneer dvd 610 which is a superb upscaler for £110 from richer sounds , it also plays dvd-a and sacd which may come in handy ( they sound amazing ! )

Again, many thanks!

Support for DTS master and true HD was added some time ago with a software update.
