  • Part 1: Control PS3 Slim with Sony Tablet S.
    Although, Sony finally adds official support for using a PS3 wireless controller, there’s a catch-and a rather annoying one at that. Once your tablet is updated you can't just sync your PS3 controller and instantly turn it into a portable PSone. You'll first need to get your hands on a $14 USB adapter cable that's also used for transferring files to your tablet. Here offer you one easy solution.
  • To make it, the only thing is you need an HDMI kind TV. Here we take a Sony Bravia as the example. Here is how you do it.
    1. Enable HDMI control on the TV.
    2. Turn on your PS3 Slim and check that you can use the TV remote to control the PS3 Slim.
    3. Then go to your Tablet S.
    4. Download (if you don’t already have) the HD Remote app.
    5. Connect it to your TV
    6. Now you can control your PS3 with your Sony Tablet S freely.
    Note: It should be mentioned that this is only possible with the PS3 Slim. There is no "CEC HDMI Control" option in the old 60GB fat version.
  • Part 2: Throw video to PS3 Slim from Sony Tablet S via DLNA server.
    Step 1: Downloaded a trial Free DLNA server trial App in the Android market.
    Note: The DLNA player that is preinstalled on the Tablet is NOT a DLNA server; you need to install one.
  • Step 2: Click the “Throw” buttons to scan for DLNA-compliant PS3 Slim.
    The audio and video apps have “Throw” buttons. Once you click the “Throw” buttons, Tablet S can automatically scan for DLNA-compliant hardware– such as speakers or your network-connected PS3 Slim.
  • Step 3: Drag & drop the currently playing video to those outputs.
    Once the Tablet S find out the DLNA-compliant PS3 Slim, you just need to drag & drop the currently playing video to your PS3 Slim.
  • Step 4: Get videos on your DLNA-compliant PS3 Slim.
    It works just as you’d expect; you were able to quickly get video recorded using the tablet streaming to your PS3 Slim.
    Note: 1. If you want to Tablet S can automatically scan for your PS3 Slim, please make sure your PS3 Slim is the DLNA-compliant hardware.
