My ps3 audio and video won't work. the power on it works and I it allows me to put cds into it, but nothing comes up on any tv i use it with. how can i fix this?

  • Anonymous Oct 28, 2010

    I'm pretty sure I've done this but I could be mistaken. the power button is the one all the way on the right in the front correct? I've put my finger on this and it turns the system off leaving a red light. pretty sure its the soft reset but i cant really figure out how to just reset it and not turn it off.

Hold power button for five seconds, allow system to reboot with default video settings. Common occurrence when moving PS3 from standard to high definition and back.

    Turn your system off. Completely. With red light lit of front of your PS3, hold the power button, one on the right, for 5 seconds, or until you hear several beeps. This resets your video setting. Your PS3 should display standard startup screen, wavy lines, and then a black screen will pop up asking you if you want to keep this resolution or change it to optimal settings.

When PS3 is powered on the TV states either no input or audio only, blue screen nothing else.

Try this: Power off the ps3 (red light) then hold down the power button until you hear 2 beeps and let go. that should work, you just needed to reset the ps3 to work on your tv from HD to the AV cable or vice versa

Set the receiver for auto audio input - I think that you are getting caught out between MPEG and DTS audio. If you have the wrong one for the audio source then you hear nothing.

It doesn't work on my ps3 no picture only audio

If it works on other televisions, than the video cord must be good. Is the television on the right input channel? If it is, the video input may be bad. You should test the video input with a dvd player or vcr. You can always plug ps3 into a vcr, and vcr up to televison.
