PS3 (by 2 users)


posted by jspeed on Oct 14, 2007


I am using HDMI input 1 for my PS3.  But the picture is very grainy and color distorted.  I have tried bypassing the video processor but no change.  When the PS3 is connected directly to the tv (sony 50A2000) the picture is perfect.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Justin

Avr 745 HDMI only output 1080i not 1080p. Your PS3 is capable of 1080p. You have to adjust your PS3 to 1080i then your screen will work. I hope Harman will come up with the upgrade for HDMI that can output 1080p otherwise you have to suffer or stuck with 1080i. Hope this will solve your problems.

I had a AVR 745 too. I loved the sound it produced. But the only downside about this AVR is the HDMI output at 1080i not 1080p. I hope in the future they will upgrade the software but I have doubt that they won't have it because what I heard was that you have to change the hardware too in order to get 1080p. Keep your fingers cross, they might come up with the solution.

Thanks thats what the technician told me after months of chasing after them. I hope they do come up with an upgrade because this just a big waste of money otherwise.The only reason i went for the product was because it had hdmi, i didnt think that it wouldn't be able to channel 1080p images ... i mean when faroudja is turned of it should be able to...but no! very shocking, really put me off harman...denons the way to go go.
