Thursday January 18, 2007 | More PS3 HDMI/HDCP Fixes | Games |
Since I had a previous posting on HDMI problems on the Playstation 3, I figured I should include this update about generic HDMI problems on all devices for everyone who still has a PS3. Both of you. According to Popular Mechanics, there are HDCP handshaking issues that can cause problems (no sound and flashing picture). The good news is that there is a simple work around:
- Unplug the cable and plug it back in.
Next, how to fix your Nintendo Wii by kicking it a few times.

Friday November 17, 2006 | Playstation 3 HDMI Problem and Fix! | Games |
Those of you who have the new Playstation 3 and want to use it with your HDTV and the HDMI interface, take note.
First, if you have an older HDTV, i.e. one that doesn't support 720p resolution, prepare to be disappointed. The PS3 will down-rev your revolution to 480p, not up-rev it to 1080i. Sad.
Next, it's being reported that there are small, non-fatal, glitches when using the HDMI interface. You can see the report from the CheapAssGamer.com of view the YouTube video from CheapyD.
What you may not notice is that buried in the comments are a fix from CheapyD himself:
"I've learned that there is a auto HDMI setup built into the PS3. They say to do the following:
Turn on TV and set input to HDMI port being used
Make sure PS3 is connected via HDMI
Power on PS3 via power button and HOLD IT for 5 seconds. It should automagically configure your PS3 to the TV's native res for all settings. "
Turn on TV and set input to HDMI port being used

Power on PS3 via power button and HOLD IT for 5 seconds. It should automagically configure your PS3 to the TV's native res for all settings. "
Sadly, this "fix" uncovers a new problem. Stay tuned for if there is another fix.
I don't have a PS3 yet and I may hold off on buying one.
Update [01/18/2007]: This may be a general problem with HDMI and HDCP.
