I just bought a Samsun Series 4+ / 440 / 450 (on the users manual lol) but when i try to hook up my DTV or PS3 using an AV cable, nothing shows up. In the Sources, it shows "AV" but when i select it, it says no signal. The AV cable is plugged into the channel 1 slot and it is on channel 1 when i switch to AV. Please help.

You will need to turn on the PS3 and hook it up with rca so you can access the console menus. Turn it on and get to the main dashboard. 1. Go to Settings -> Display Settings (not video) 2. Select [ Video Output Settings ] 3. Select HDMI 4. Select Resolution 5. Select Screen Size 6. Save the settings 7. Reboot the console. This should resolve the problem. We've seen PS3 consoles that would not reset by performing a hard reset. We were able to resolve this issue through the settings menu though. Let me know if it is still giving you issues.Hank GATpro Repairs

Try entering Recovery Mode and choose "Restore Default Settings".


If that doesn't help, you may have an HDMI port failure - which will require returning the unit to Sony or sending it to a third-party PS3 repair shop.

The ilo dtv 2784 can be hooked up to the PS3 a few different ways actually!

1st - It can be hooked up through "component" cables. This is the red, green and blue connectors (video) with a red and white connector (audio). You would need to buy the component cable specifically for the PS3. This would be the "best" quality, and this link is just to show you what it looks like (they can be purchased at almost any store that carries electronics.

2nd, you could hook it up with "composite" cables, which are the standard cables that most of us have used at one point or another. It is the "yellow" connector (video) with the red and white connectors which are (audio). This cable will not give you as good as quality, but it is cheaper if money is an issue.

Please don't forget to rate my answer "FixYa" if this answers your question. Bye pannbjoosten!

It happened to me too. When you plug in your av cables and are ready to play, follow these steps. With your PS3 off (Red light on), Press and hold the power button on your console. (Do not use the controller to turn it on.) Keep holding the button until you hear a second beep. (it takes about 2 to 3 seconds.) You will notice your screen flickers, then your PS3 will show up on the tv. All you did was reset the PS3 display settings. You can always go back to HDMI or AV cables. Have Fun.

Try changing the Sound and Display settings in the Settings Menu, otherwise call one of the customer service numbers found on the back page of any of your game manuals. Good luck

Try manually resetting the video.

While the PS3 is off,

Press and HOLD down the POWER BUTTON

When you hear the second beep, QUICKLY release the power button.

Let me know what happens.

first hook up the av cable then do your set up then powerdown then hook up your hdmi if not problem message back

this may be due to the fact that your ps3 will be set up to hd. go into video settings when you switch it on and this should solve the problem. i had similar problems and bought a hdtv until someone pointed this out to me. however once you have experienced ps3 in hd you will not go back!!! hope this helps

since you bought this console used, it maybe set to HDMI 1080p/ 1080i/720p output(by the original owner) and if your TV does not support this there will be no picture, the only way to lower the output resoloution is to get into the options menu but to do that you will need a freind with a tv that supports whatever resoloution its been set too.

Cable chanels an dtv chanels are not the same
