QUOTE(elainor @ Nov 21 2012, 06:50 PM) hey guys may i ask how to connect ps3 to lcd monitor via hdmi but my lcd monitor has a build in audio jack. Can i get sound from it when i connect a 3.5mm to 3.5mm male to male cable and connect it to my 5.1 speaker? Thanks Added on November 21, 2012, 6:56 pmhttp://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-D2342P-PN-led-monitor im using this monitor which comes with an audio jack Well since this monitor has a headphone jack, you should be able to output sound from there to your speakers though at best is only stereo unless you have a better audio output.

Thanks may I ask minor loss in terms of lower volume or lower quality? Can I still get the 5.1 surround sound? My speaker is from Logitech x540 thanks

My speaker is from Logitech x540 thanks RCA & 3.5mm are all stereo connections. You will not be able to get pure surround sound using this hardware. However certain speakers or software can emulate surround sound so not sure if x540 can do that. Eg I using a surround sound headphones but it's still stereo input. The sound is like surround though (at least as far as I can hear  ). It's not pure surround which requires dedicate hardware to transfer the audio data for all the different channels. Loss is more in terms of volume. My naked ear can differentiate the quality differences but I know some audiophiles can.

What you mean press enter a lot? You press enter to put into cart, then checkout then select download. From there you can leave it to download or choose to download in background. No need to quit to xmb.

Up to you. They're good products either way though you may get value for money for the 500 gb as the LYN sellers are already selling the SG set which is about RM 100-200 cheaper than MY set. My preference is the Slim one. Super slim is a bit plasticky and don't like the sliding cover (potential dust and exposure of lens to environment). Some more have to manually slide it back. But that's just my opinion.
