PS3 will not display from HDMI Help!!

I believe you need to hold down the power button for 5seconds and it will reset any display settings you have right now and should work then .jetway2211

correct. if you don't down the power button, it resets the video connections, and the PS3 will auto-detect the HDMI.

Its not working guys. Not sure what the deal is. Should I try restoring?ghostfarm

donno maybe ur tv dont support hdmi version 1.3?is 1.3 the best there is.i heard only newer hdtv supports hdmi 1.3.

there is no "1.2" or "1.3" cables. it's the same cable. I surely hope the topic creator didn't pay more for the "1.3" cable.

to the topic creator, do you have your HDTV set to its HDMI input setting?

Like said before it can't be a 1.3 issue. And I take it when you say it is set to the HDMI setting, that means you have the tv set to the correct input number that matches the HDMI port you used? And you removed the old composite cable from the PS3, right?

I only have 1 hdmi input on my tvghostfarm

I've seen a couple places state there are 3 HDMI ports. Are you sure you didn't get a Towsheeba Rhekzah?

I found this in a different site, see if it works, but sounds like maybe that's what you were trying, running on av and then trying to switch to HDMI in the settings. Though, hopefully a step in this will make a difference. Make sure 1080p24 is set to off, not auto. I heard there's some RGB setting that can have an issue. Hopefully the PS3 is not trying to do 1080p or something. With only one HDMI port it will be hard to tell if the port is bad or the cable, even the PS3 port.

12-30-06, 11:14 PMI went thru a similar thing when I first tried mine with HDMI. Could get it to work for a while, then no. Then audio would work on movies, but not games (talking optical here). It did indeed seem very fickle and the several hours I spent with it I was none to happy.

However, the unit has settled down the past couple of days and works perfect thru HDMI and optical now. Here is what I did:

I discounted HDMI and hooked up thru composite. I set up the wireless connection and had it check for updates. There of course was one, so download it and installed it (pretty much an auto process). I then did a power down including turning off on the rear of the unit (don't know if this was needed...but did it anyway).

While powered off I hooked up HDMI, leaving the composite plugged in. I then turned on the main power at the rear. I then touched the power button holding for 5 seconds till I heard the 2nd beep. The unit defaulted to run thru composite.

I then went thru the set up area and changed the display out to HDMI. Now when I did this the screen went blank and my display did not switch over. However I switched to HDMI on the display and sure enough, there was the image just fine. I then said "yes" I wanted to keep this setting to save it. I then unplugged the composite. I then set up audio thru optical.

Since that time I have been using the wireless controler to power down. Now my display automatically picks up the HDMI signal switches over. I have had no troubles at all since and all has been well.

Don't know if this will work for you, but worth a shot.Sdallnct

my advice...unplug everything and start over.

This is good advice. I'd start in the bathroom, then move to the kitchen, living room, then bedrooms.

Make sure you are switching your t.v. input to the input carrying the HDMI signal. When I went from component cables to HDMI, my screen went black and then I had to switch the t.v. input. I had heard that switching was a bit of an issue, so I left both component cables and HDMI plugged in at the same time when I made the switch. Once the screen went black, I switched inputs and then saw the screen that asked if I wanted to keep these settings along with the timer counting down. I selected yes and it has worked ever since.

agreed. make sure you drop the kids off at the pool while you are in the bathroom.

I am trying to switch fro AV to HDMI and I cannot get a signal, the screen goes blank and will not let me switch it HDMI. Anyone know if I am doing something wrong? the cable is HDMI 1.3, and my tv supports upt 1080i.ghostfarm

uhh, plug it in with the cables that work...and then go to your options and change it to HDMI while the other cables are still pluged in ( i think you can plug the HDMI in too) that might work..just change the setting i guess

That's key. I can't believe I forgot that.

Hi, i had this same problem all thats wrong is your TV doesn't have controll for HDMI. To fix this go to: 1) Settings 2) System Settings 3) Controll For HDMI 4) Whatever It Is Currently Using Operate The Other Eg: If It Is On Turn It Off This Is Because Your TV Does/Does Not Support That Setting.LJRobertshaw

This topic was made ALL the way back in 2007, the user probably quit gamespot a long time ago.

:P

its not your tv or your hdmi setups, alot of peopel have this problem with resetting your ps3.

turn your ps3 off

connect it through hdmi and make sure your av cables are NOT plugged in

now hold the power button for about 5 seconds or untill you hear 3 beeps, the 3rd beep should take longer to hear

then you should see a screen that says they have detected an hdmi input and if you want to use that

then you should be able to see it.

if not, call sony but im sure this will work.
