ps3 problems w/ samsung TV?

just bought a Samsung 5000 series LED TV (22 inch) for my dorm. I'm trying to hook up my PS3 using the AV cord that the TV came with, and I'm not sure what cords go with what connections. I'm guessing the green cable w/ yellow tip goes w/ the PS3's yellow cable and white-white. As for the two red cables, I'm not sure if the PS3's red cable goes with the red cable on the left (video) or right (audio) for the TV. Thanks for the help - much appreciated!

    Yeah you need to buy the av input connectors, it sucks, i thought it would have had the Yellow-Red-White AV ports too.

    [EDIT: HA, don't get an HDMI cord, thats for High definiton Multimedia Interface, for HD resolution, and yes it works, but AV input connectors are like $6..99-$7.99 U.S, chances are you most likely recieved one with the TV]

    Source(s): got the samsung LED also!

    Go buy an HDMI cable, don't spend more than $20. Then hook the ps3 to the tv with it. Set the ps3 output to HDMI and it will work. The cables with the tv aren't for an HD item to be attached.

    You should use PS3 HDMI Cable. If you have a traditional non-Hi-Definition TV, your TV will probably only have the RCA jack - the one with the red, white, and yellow jacks. If you have a Hi-def TV, you can use the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable, which gives better quality video and sound.
