Feed Back in the audio issues for PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

sesj · 12-18-2007, 06:22 AM

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem. I normally use my PS3 with HDMI cables on my TV at home, but I am at my brothers house for the holidays and his TV will only support the RED, WHITE, and YELLOW cable. When I plug these in, there is a LOUD feedback noise -- I've also tried 3 other sets of cables to see if that was the issue. Anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thanks

Sounds like a grounding problem.

I don't own a PS3 so I'll ask what type of plug does it have?
If a three prong, try a cheater adapter (three to two prong) to lift the ground and see if that gets rid of the hum.
(note: I don't recommend this being a permanent hookup though)

If this can't be done, try disconnecting the CATV wire going to the TV.

Horizontal Bars, Buzzing Sound, etc? Look here...

...yeah, could be a grounding issue.
