Why would you want to when the RCA cable is only for 480i picture and the HDMI is for HDTV. If your TV can work with the HDMI cables then it is a HDTV and the will not provide the same results with an RCA connection. Anyway the HDMI cable is capable of sync and can adjust the setting and automatically switch your TV to the PS3 when you turn on the PS3 slim model (earlier models do not have this feature). You need to go to the PS3 settings and the TV settings to correctly reflect the 480i signal and to manually turn your TV to the PS3 input location every time you now want to use it with the RCA connection. You will also have to manually switch it back when you want to watch TV instead of playing the PS3.
The PS3 does have the ability to have the video reset to the lowest level which will allow the RCA cables to work again. This is done by holding down the power button for two beeps while the system is turned off. That is supposed to reset the video to the lowest level according to instructions

Can you play xbox 360 on a laptop with a HDMI cable?
no you cannot
Do you need the HDMI cable for the PS3?
no you do not have to have an hdmi for ps3 but i would recommend it to play your games in hd because hdmi stands for hi-definition multimedia interface. The HDMI cable is for the PS3 to connect to HDTVs and is not needed for standard TVs which do not even have HDMI inputs. If your TV has HDMI inputs you need to purchase a HDMI cable before you spend your money on a new game, Movie, download or anything else because it is not giving you a picture from the PS3 in HD
Can PS3 play 1080p games?
Yes it was designed to be able to. The PS3 can Play the game, but unless your PS3 is properly connected to a 1080P HDTV you will not get 1080P.

How do you set up your playstation 3 to watch Blu-ray DVD's?
Ads describing features for the PS3 contain the following footnote: Video output in HD requires cables and an HD-compatible display, both sold separately. Full HD 1080p requires an HDMI cable and a 1080p native display with an HDMI input supporting HDCP. Copy-protected Blu-ray video discs can only output at 1080p using an HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the HDCP standard. This means in order to set up your PS3 to play Blue Ray Discs you need a HDTV that gets 1080P and is able to be connected to the PS3 with a HDMI cable, or that the HDTV has an HDMI input and you have used it to connect it to the PS3.

Why cant i play my PS3 with my AV cables anymore i used to be able to but after i used a HDMI cable the AV cable isn't working i know neither the PS3 cable or TV are broken?
You have to go to your settings and correct them. You no longer will have HD capability with the A/V cables that came with the PS3. You really have no reason to use the A/V cable with a HDTV. The A/V cable will only give 480i or standard TV. Decent HDMI cables can be found at a reasonable or sale price and if thy don't work perfect just return and exchange them
If both 7.1 analog out and HDMI out are connected from a Panasonic dmp-bd10a to the analog and HDMI inputs on an onkyo tx-sr875 how do you select one source to play over the other and vice versa?
Use the source select button on the remote. Answer: If you have an HDMI cable connected from your Blu-ray player to your receiver you don't need the 7.1 analog. The analog cables are inferior to the digital signal and HDMI can produce. The HDMI cable carries both an HD picture and HD digital sound (the best sound possible from a blu-ray.) If you remove the analog cables, choose the HDMI input and you will be fine.

Can a Xbox 360 play PS3 games?
Yes HDMI cables do not have to say they are for PS3 to work on the PS3 and HDTV. Not all the HDMI cables are the same quality and there are a considerable number of opinions about how much to spend on HDMI cables and whether the high priced cables offer any benefit. Personally I would purchase a Brand name HDMI cable of High Quality over one found where the shipping is a greater cost than the cable. There are definitely differences in the construction of the different cables that can be seen and felt in an examination of the cables. Whether the differences are a factor in the HD signal transfer from the PS3 to the HDTV is another matter. I have a Sony HDTV and since PS3 was also Sony purchased a Sony Flat HDMI cable at Walmart for $20 more than the other HDMI cables Walmart offered. I just wanted to be sure that I was getting a great signal for the Blu-Ray discs.
