Adjusting video output settings
Depending on the type of cables and the connectors used, you may
need to adjust the PS3™ system's video output settings to display
video at HD resolutions (
page 16) on a TV.
If video is not displayed
Switch the video input of the TV to match the input connector used to
connect to the system.
Turn off the system, and then turn it on again by pressing the power button
for at least five seconds (until the system beeps twice). The video output
setting will be reset and video will be output at standard definition (SD)
resolution.
