All: Try this -
Perform the following steps to reset the Video Output Settings.
- Make sure the HDMI cable is connected to the
[HDMI OUT] port on the back of the PLAYSTATION 3 system. Connect the
other end of the HDMI cable into the [HDMI Input] port of the TV or
display monitor.
- While the PLAYSTATION 3 system is in standby mode (red light on the front of the system), hold down the touch-sensitive On/Off button on the front of the system until the system goes into standby mode again . (So the light cycle would go from: red light to --> green light --> then back to red light) This will ensure that you have held down the On/Off button long enough to reset the Video Output Settings.
- Turn ON the
PLAYSTATION 3 and once the system finishes powering up, the Video
Output Settings will automatically reset to the standard resolution (or
detect the current display output settings of your TV/monitor). [If
resetting does not auto-detect your HDTV, see next step below.]
NOTE: As of system software update version 1.60, the PLAYSTATION 3can
automatically detect an HDMI connection to a TV. If the PLAYSTATION 3
is turned on with an HDMI cable connected, the screen for switching
video output settings will be displayed automatically. (Does not
function unless the TV that is connected by the HDMI cable is turned
on.)
As of version 1.80 of the system update for the PLAYSTATION 3,
the PLAYSTATION 3 can upscale the video content of PlayStation® format
software, PlayStation®2 format software, and DVDs to HD resolution.
If Resetting the Video Output Setting Did NOT Detect Your HDTV Automatically (Certain TV's Only)
With certain televisions, the PLAYSTATION 3
may not automatically detect the HDMI source (TV) which it is plugged
into, even after resetting the Video Output Setting (as described

If resetting the Video Output Setting did not work, you may need to follow these steps to manually locate the HDMI source:
1. Connect
both the AV Cable
and the HDMI cable from the PLAYSTATION 3 to the corresponding (AV and HDMI) ports on your TV.
2. Proceed with resetting the Video Output Setting on the PLAYSTATION 3 again. (Follow
these steps, then continue to step 3 below.)
3. Turn the TV channel to the corresponding "Input" or "Video" channel for the AV Cable connection.
4. Manually change the Video Output Settings to HDMI. (Follow
these steps, then continue to step 5 below.)
5. Now switch the "Input" or "Video" channel on the TV for the HDMI port the PLAYSTATION 3 is currently plugged into.
6. Accept the display settings for HDMI before the timer runs out (30 seconds). Highlight "Yes" and press the X button.
7. You can now disconnect AV Cable from the PLAYSTATION 3 and the TV, as it is no longer needed.
