PS3 to XBR1 HDMI (by 2 users)

Yes, using the NTSC yellow-red-white cable (it looks like h*ll).

The thing that I don't get is that it all worked (PS3 games AND Blu-Ray discs) for TEN WEEKS. All of a sudden, no video (when I turn on the PS3, the screen flashes like it does with the HDMI signal from my HD-DVR).

If it never worked, I'd assume that the XBR1 didn't support the PS3, BUT IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY FOR TEN (10) WEEKS ...

"some video modes may not be supported" ?? Did you miss the part where I explained that it worked fine/great for TEN WEEKS?? And, that included all of the Blu-Ray disks that I tried (maybe a dozen or more) ...

So, if Blue-Ray "can only output at 1080p AND the KDL-V40XBR1 won't accept 1080p, HOW DID IT WORK SO PERFECTLY FOR TEN WEEKS ??

The PS3 worked fine with the Sony KDL-V40XBR1 for more than 10 weeks, then suddenly no video (yes, both games and Blu-Ray DVDs work beautifully). Sony replaced the PS3, but this one has the same problem -- tuned to Video 6 (manual says that's the ONLY port for HDMI), the screen flashes as if it were going to get the video, and then just stays black. The new PS3 works fine with the HDMI on my 22" lcd computer monitor ...

It was one of the first things that I eliminated (but, let's not forget that using the HDMI switcher, the PS3 [Blu-ray and HD games] worked GREAT for TEN WEEKS).

Subsequent attempts have used one of three better HDMI cables (each of the 3 had worked earlier) connecting the PS3 DIRECTLY to the XBR ...

Just was informed that BestBuy meant March 31st when they told me last Thursday that they'd have a service rep here "next Monday" ....

By station, I'm assuming you mean the PS3, and I don't think so. It sure didn't freeze when I got video on my HD computer monitor and, after the XBR flashes (but never get the video), the PS3 screen says it'll return after 30 seconds and it does -- still working just fine (of course, I'm viewing it on the low-res yellow-red-white connection) ...

Thanks for the vote of confidence (you were right, it was one of the first thing I tried AND have not used the switcher in the interceding 4 weeks ...).

Now, I just received another box to mail back the second (i.e., replacement) PS3 so I they can send me a THIRD one.

Not sure if I should keep this (it works with me computer monitor, so I know it "sorta" works) OR send #2 back and hope #3 solves the problem. [It takes 5 business days for the return and then another 4-5 days to get the next PS3 ...]

appreciate your following up ... I waited 'til after noon before calling BestBuy -- "oh, the person you talked meant March 31st when she said 'next Monday' " UPS just dropped off the box to return PS3 #2. (I hate to waste the week-and-a-half for the second replacement, that would be PS3 #3, only to find that it, too, works and it's a problem with my 2-year old Sony XBR1 ...)

Well, it's been over 4 weeks, but I don't think there's anything that needs to be reconfigured to "what was" . (I'm going to look again to see if I can make the PS3 send out a 720p video signal).

Don't know if you see all my responses, but BestBuy was supposed to have a TV repair person here today, but, on Thursday (3/20) the contact told me next Monday AND I assumed that was today. In fact, someone will be here NEXT Monday (3/31). Adding insult to injury, I just received a box/shipping-label to return this PS3 for another one. Now, the finger-pointing has begun ---
SONY HD TECHIE SONY PS3 TECHIE
If any HDMI source If the PSe works on any
works with the XBR, HD-screen (e.g., my
then the PS3 is at computer LCD using an
fault !! HDMI connection), then
the TV is at fault !!

What fun ...

I just know it worked for 10 weeks. I've agreed to wait 'til next Monday in the hope that the BB repair-person doesn't throw up his/her hands and proclaim "get another PS3 -- this one's not working !! "

Hate it when "they" just remove all the spaces!

Hope you got the jest that Sony TV and Sony PS3 actually agree -- it's the other person's product ...
