From the photos I see two devices:

1. A Sony TV (presumably a Trinitron model).
2. A Pioneer DVD/CD Receiver

In the picture I can see that the Pioneer receiver only accepts one audio input.

What you can do in the setup is that you can plug the Red/White (Audio) cable of your PS3 to the audio input in your Pioneer receiver, leave the Yellow cable (Video) at the front panel of your TV. I assume that the picture output from the PS3 will be displayed in Video 2 of your TV. The PS3 portion is done.

Next, you would want to connect the video output of your DVD player to your TV. Take the Yellow cable from your DVD player and connect it to the back of your TV Yellow A/V Input. The picture output from your DVD player should be displayed in Video 1 of your TV.

There will be no audio connection from your DVD player to the receiver because the DVD player IS the receiver itself.

I believed that everytime you're switching from PS3<->DVD and vice versa, you would want to ensure that your Pioneer receiver will output the correct audio channel. Refer to your manual on how to do it. Otherwise, you won't hear any sound out of your PS3.

I hope this clarifies your confusion.

Cheers

I'm 99% sure your PS3 won't get affected. Two reasons being:

1. The OS. At the moment, there are no open APIs for any casual programmers to write a nasty program to infect your PS3. Those APIs are only available to game developers at a price. Who would pay such a large amount of money to obtain the API just to write a virus to infect a PS3?

Another thing is the PS3 OS runs on a hypervisor mode. So, even if you could run Linux on a PS3, the game OS itself is actually seperated from other OS that is running, so this creates sort of like a sandbox environment which adds to the security layer of the PS3 system itself.

2. The CPU. The PS3 CPU is not the same as your household Intel-based or AMD-based CPU. It runs on the IBM's Cell Broadband Processor and it is not a tame beast to handle. Even if you got a Windows or Linux or Mac-based virus, it wouldn't be able to execute on a PS3 environment easily.

We'll see. A PS3 zombie network, or a network of infected PS3s chained together to crack a password? Maybe...

So, the picture says it all. You can go online on PS3 with P1 Wimax. = No NAT3 error.

No. Cannot. PS2 games runs on the Emotion Engine hardware/ emulated software. New models of PS3 doesn't support this anymore.

Malaysian models are under the CECHKxx serial number.
