Reset the Video Output Settings

If you changed televisions or changed the type of cable you are using, you may need to reset the video output on the PlayStation 3. If this has not been done you may be confronted with a blank screen on the television. If moving the console from one TV setup to another (e.g. HDTV to SDTV for instance) a 'Video Output Reset' will need to be done.

1) Make sure the designated cable is inserted into the back of the Playstation 3 system.

2) Connect the other end of this cable into the corresponding socket on the back of the TV set being used.

3) While the PlayStation 3 system is in standby mode (red light on the front of the system), hold down the 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.

4) Turn ON the PlayStation 3 and once the system finishes powering up, the Video Output Settings will automatically be reset to the standard resolution (or detect the current display output settings of your TV/monitor).
