Tip & How-To about Video Game Consoles & Games
When you attach your Play Station 3 to an HD TV through an HDMI port, the Play Station 3 will ask you if you wish to switch to HD Mode.
However, if you decide to move it to another TV that is not HD compatible, you will get no picture because the Play Station 3 is “stuck” in HD (HDMI) mode.
Follow these steps to resolve your problem:
1. Turn off the PS3 so it only shows a red light. You can hold the power button on the front until it goes into standby. To be sure, flick the power switch on the back of the Play Station 3 off and then back on.
2. Make sure your Play Station 3 is connected to your regular TV (not HDTV) with the standard video cables.
3. Press and hold the power button until the screen "flickers" and then immediately release. This should reset the video settings.
4. Wait a few seconds, and the Play Station 3 (PS3) logo should appear.
If this does not resolve the problem, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the PS3 so it only shows a red light. You can hold the power button on the front until it goes into standby. To be sure, flick the power switch on the back of the Play Station 3 off and then back on.
2. Make sure your Play Station 3 is connected to your regular TV (not HDTV) with the standard video cables.
3. Press and hold the power button on the front until the Play Station 3 beeps and then turns off again. This should reset the video for you and you can turn it back on after this.
That’s it! You can play your Play Station 3 again!
