PS3 Color problem

[JeddaHost]

Hello,

i have an Europe PS3 an i moved to USA i tried to connect the PS3 with the TV but i didn't get any colors all in black and white

i connected it by the normal video cable

what's the solution ?

The solution is to get an HDTV and hook up the PS3 with an hdmi cable. OR get a standard tv that can handle the European PAL tv norm.

The problem is that your PS3 is sending a PAL signal, which your American NTSC tv cannot display correctly. Different tv norms - but that only applies to standard definition. If you upgrade to high definition, you will have no problem.

Hey

My TV is HDTV
so if i hook it up with the HDMI it will work ?

 

[Taustin Powers]

I believe so. And it will look much better, too!

I don't think it will work unless your Europe PS3 can output 60Hz frame rates used by NTSC countries (30 or 60) or if your American TV can accept 50Hz frame rates used by PAL countries (25 or 50).

so i hooked up the PS3 with the HDMI and every time i get a blank screen (black screen)

what's the problem ?

Hook up the HDMI.

Then when you turn on your PS3 hold the power button down for 5 - 10 seconds and you will here a beep.

The console should then go into AV auto detect and find your HDMI connection.
