PS3 not working on reg tv's after HDMI use on LCD HD tv

Hey! Hope you guys can help. We hooked up and used HDMI cable w/ ps3. Worked wonderful! However, when moving ps3 to either of other 2 tv's (not HD) and go back to the regular hook-up we have always used, we only have blank screen. I did change setting to the hook up pictured with the colored cables before moving back to reg.tv, but no luck on either of the two non HD sets. Can still hook bak up to HD and use HDMI w/ n/pblms. Hope you can help as son and I are going crazy b/c we can only play when hubby is not watching HD! Thanks! Shelley

Shelley,  the fix for this is simple! Hold down the power button for about 5 seconds and the system will beep. This resets the video setting for your ps3 from HD too whatever the current cables are that you are using too hook up too the tv. This works on my PS3 which I just bought about 3 months ago and should work with the older ones.

Hey guys i gave my ps3 to a shop in st neots to get my hd working and he blew out all the dust with a air gun and changed the settings and said the ps3 is set up for hd now and it worked on the shop tv but...

When changing the display mode of the PS3 you must be in the correct mode and be using the correct wire. If in the shop it was last set up in HD mode, then you must be using an HD cable (component cable(wire with red/yellow/white) will not work. Also, make sure that your TV can handle the resolution it is set in. If your TV at best handles 720p and the PS3 is set in 1080, then you will have to hook it up to a TV with 1080 to change it back or you will not get a picture.

Just wondering if you could tell me the best way to set up the TH42PZ70BA LCD Television to get the best results from the PS3

This is very easy. Just hook up your PS3 to your TV via HDMI cable and set your TV and PS3 to 1080p resolution. On the PS3 all you have to do is click "Display settings" and then go to HDMI output AFTER you have hooked it up. Just click on 1080p and 720p because some games do not support 1080p resolution. Hope this helps!
