| | I think I may have sussed the PS3 configuration out. If you want to use VR920 on PS3 i guess you probably shouldn't use the hdmi socket with any converters(eg hdmi to dvi leads etc) as the resolution will be to high for the VR920. The VR920 has a VGA plug with pins and a USB cable that, from what I can see, actually powers the device. Apparently the PS3 supplies enough power through it's USB sockets to efficiently power the VR920 so thats the USB issue dealt with. So you need to output the video from the PS3 through a VGA cable to be able to get the video onto the VR920. You can get a composite video/s-video to VGA converter from most places like amazon etc. This converter also has a VGA plug with pins which splits into a s-video and a yellow composite lead. The yellow composite lead is a socket for plugging in a video source, in our case the PS3 using the standard AV lead that comes with the PS3 or what was used on the PS2. This will only transfer the video from the PS3 and not the audio so use speakers that take the red/white leads if you want the audio aswell(which i guess you probably are lol). You now have video coming from the PS3 which is being output through a VGA plug. The obstacle you now have is that you have 2 VGA plugs with pins that you need to connect together. To solve this you need one of those VGA female-female gender changer converters that has a VGA socket on either side with the holes so that you can connect the VR920 to one side and the VGA cable that you now have coming from the PS3 to other side and if Im correct this should work. If anybody else manages to succeed with this please let me know how you get on. Just a quick note also. Taking the red/white leads for audio and plugging them into a converter that has a red/white socket going to a 3.5mm audio socket should theoretically take the audio from the PS3 and allow you to plug any earphones from an Ipod for example into the 3.5mm audio socket to get audio. I havent tried this yet since I am waiting on this converter lead to be delivered from an internet purchase. Good luck, Stuart H
