After using the hdmi cord, now trying to switch back to regular tv (red/yellow/white cord). Noted a few responses from similar questions, when in hdmi going to video settings but do not know which option to choose to change back to regular setting. Can you help?

Hello, welcome to Fixya!

The yellow, red and white cord is called RCA. It different from HDMI.

The yellow stands for video (display), while the red and white stands for Audio (sound) Left and Right.

Hdmi is different from RCA (yellow, red and white). They are two different cords and connection.

Both can be connected separately at the back/side of the TV.

Please give me more information about the problem for more details.

Regards.

double check all your cords and that they are hooked up tightly and correctly.

if that fails try hooking it up using the AUX (yellow,white,red) cord. It could have been reset which means if you were using a HDMI output it was set back to default AUX.

and finally try using a different HDMI cord, everything goes bad eventually

If you have a "slim" ps3, it does not beep 3 times. Try this.
First, with the system off,plug in your old red, white, yellow cables into the tv. (make sure your tv is on the correct setting). Now, just turn on the ps3 the regular way. Did you hear the sounds it normally makes when booting up (the ps3 boot music?). If so, thats good. If you did not, check again that the tv is on the right channel, and if possible, try another set of red, white, yellow cables.

If you heard sound, but do not get a picture, turn the ps3 back off. After the red light comes on, hold your finger down on the power button for about 5 seconds. If you have a fat ps3, it will beep 3 times after a few seconds to get back to regular tv mode. If you have a slim ps3, it will beep once, then 1 more time a few seconds later. It should reset and turn back on. If your tv is on the right channel and the cables work, then you should now see a picture and you know your audio/video is working. You can now try your HDMI cable and it should prompt you to use the HDMI at this point.

Hope that helps.

Alright so this is what you have to do.
1. Connect it to your HDTV with the HDMI cable and the red/white/yellow cable.
2. Turn it on and go to the display settings and switch it to the composite cable setting.
3. Change your TV channel where you would see the red/white/yellow cable and accept it that way.
4. You should be all set. Take it to the regular TV and connect it with the red/white/yellow cable.

There are a few ways to remedy this situation.

1) If you have access to that HDMI port on the TV, plug it back in and switch the settings back to composite. Your screen will go black which means you did it right.

2) I've only done this once and it was a trial-by-error step. Plug it into the tv, turn it on, hold your finger over the power button to turn it off. Hold your finger over the power button when turning it on. After a few cycles it worked for me. Key thing is to keep reseting it.

The safest thing to do is get the HDMI tv to switch your settings back

Red is right channel, White is Left Channel, and Yellow is video.  If you just got the TV and DVD player its a pretty simple setup.  Just look on the back of the DVD player and hook the yellow cord to video and hook the other end to video on your TV.  Now just plug in the red and white cords to the audio on the back of the DVD player and connect the other ends to audio on the back of the TV.  You can bypass these connections and just get a HDMI cable which has video and sound all in one convenient cord, but they cost more.  You just connect the cord on the back of the DVD player where it says HDMI and then plug the other end to the TV where it says HDMI.

Tuen your ps3 off, then turn it back on but keep holding your power buttin down until you hear the beeps. It will restore you original display setings.

Wiggle the end of the cord a little bit. same thing happened to me

You can't run in HD with the red, yellow, and white connection. Use and HDMI cable and you should be good to go. You can purchase an HDMI cable from any retailer that sells TV's. Link Depot Gold Plated High Speed HDMI Cable 6 10 15 2 pack Walmart com

Plug the power unit into to the back. Plug the AV cable to the back of the TV (match the colors) and the back of the Xbox. You'll either use the red/white/yellow if you have a regular tv, or the red/green/blue if you have an HDTV. Then switch the switch on the AV cable to the right setting (HDMI/HDTV or regular TV). Install the AA alkaline batteries in the controller (or the battery pack if you got the rechargeable battery kit). Plug the power cord into the power unit, then last plug the power cord into the wall. Wait a minute for the power unit to light up and then push the big green Xbox button in the middle of the controller down for three seconds and let it go. It should turn on. If not, find someone local to help you. This is all stuff covered in detail in the owners manual.
