Can't Change Ps3 Display Setting

[sammywhatammy]

OKAY. Roxio's all set up. PS3's fine, software's installed.

 

Buuuuuut the PS3 refuses to change the display settings.

 

I get to "select type of connector", choose Component/D-Terminal, but the screen goes black for a few seconds before returning as the PS3 deems it "not correct" since I still have the HDMI plugged in. But if I take the HDMI /out/, then I can't see anything at all.

 

I don't know if it makes a different that I have a surround sound system and therefore my TV, cable, and PS3 all function out of a A/V receiver/tuner. I tried switching sources to see if that would help when I unplug the HDMI, but no go.

 

Any help deeply appreciated.

[sammywhatammy]

Oh, and I thought of "feeling" my way through the settings if I had audio but no visual, but of course that didn't work either.

[sammywhatammy]

...well, crap. tried fiddling around with the wiring in case the HDMI cable going into my PS3 was going into the tuner instead of the TV, and...even after plugging everything back in the way it was, now the PS3 won't even show up on the TV. holy ^#!& what did i do

[sammywhatammy]

...put everything back to normal hours ago, thankfully. (then got lost in Skyrim, whoops)

Did you read the part in your install instructions that said a PS3 must use Component to connect to Roxio

 

That is what instructions are for

[sammywhatammy]

Yes, thank you. I read the instructions just fine. :T my point is that when trying to switch to Component for display, the PS3 refuses the change.

Watch the video from 1:40 minutes to 2:10 minutes.

Thanks cd!

 

Yes Sammy, let us know what you find.

[sammywhatammy]

I thank you guys for the very instructive videos and help, but again, when trying switch the display settings, my TV screen goes black, which means that the PS3 is not accepting the display switch.

[cdanteek]

Go over it again and recheck your settings.

 

We can't do it for you.

[sammywhatammy]

Of course, but I was hoping that there would be a way to determine why this is happening and therefore how to amend it. But I'll try again.

Your connections are a little hazy

 

Would describe in detail what you have from the PS3 to Roxio and from Roxio to your TV...

 

I assume just the USB from the PC to Roxio.

[sammywhatammy]

I have the USB that was included hooked up between the Roxio and PC. Is there something else I could supplement?

 

the box and plug set up (minus HDMI on the top, obviously)

from top to bottom at back of PS3: ethernet cable (in case of wireless going out), HDMI cable, component cable, power cable

if I were to change the connection from the Roxio to the TV from HDMI to component, I'm guessing that would negate the point of having the HD Pro version of the game capture? or would it still be HD by some technical wizardry?

[cdanteek]

Your two red connectors don't look like they are inserted as much as the others.

 

Please recheck all connections!

 

Lets clear this up, component is HD.

 

Component video is capable of carrying various signals, such as 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and beyond. So it is HD.

 

Why you use component on a PS3.

 

Connect a console specific Component AV cable** to the A/V port of the console. An HDMI connection is not possible from the PS3 due to HDCP (Sony protected) video out. That is why you need to use component cables out from the PS3

[sammywhatammy]

I had the component hooked up for the Roxio, otherwise my PS3 just has the HDMI cable. I'll see if I can forgo using the HDMI at all and connect the TV to the Roxio by component, then!
