Mitsubishi medallion display settings on ps3 with no hdmi - Blu-ray Forum

MarkisAwesome · 08-01-2009, 04:38 AM

Hi I have a Mitsubishi medallion series. I have my ps3 hooked up to it. For some reason with the component cords the only resolution i can get is 480p at best. Can i get an hdmi adapter or something? Also on the front of the tv it says HD 1080. How do I get it to play at HD 1080i?
And if you were wondering it has no hdmi hook up.

Do you have HDMI inputs on your TV? If not there are adapters. You can get any cables/adapters at www.monoprice.com

There are no Hdmi inputs

Ok so im not 100 percent on what the medallion series is.

Is it a rear projection tv?

If so there are multiple component video inputs on the back.

The only problem is most of them only output 480.

I believe the one that says DTV is the one you want for 1080i.
If you are currently running your cable box there for HD then you may have to get a component video splitter.

Hope that helps. Again im making the assumption that its a tube rear projection tv.

the medallion series should have a DVI connection in the rear for you to get a 1080 signal (looked at craigslist with someone with a rear projection medallion series and he has a dvi connection that he mentions; and a website selling a dlp medallion series also with a dvi connection)

it should look something like this

(might be vertical or horizontal etc)

just use a hdmi->dvi cable

get one from here or wherever you like http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...02&cp_id=10231

Because of copy protection, 480p may be the best resolution you will get with blu-ray playback on the PS3. It sounds like that Mits is an older CRT rear projection. Hopefully, it has a DVI input like X400 listed above. If so, buy a HDMI to DVI cable( http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 ) and you should be ok.
