Default Need a bit of PS3 Help. Well, quite a lot.

So I brought my PS3 from my own house home to that of my parents, to amuse myself a bit in the mornings - and I forgot the TV at home is only the basic cables, i.e., yellow video, and white/red audio. But my PS3 is set on HDMI. Basically, what it comes down to is that I need someone to guide me through the steps to the Display Settings (bear in mind I cant see anything on the screen) and through direction, tell me how many times to press down, 'X', etc - so I can see out of my TV. Thanks in advance.

It is a 40 GB, 2.1fw if that matters.

Hold the power down for more than 5 seconds, It will default to the higher output allowed.

I believe you can hold the power button and the PS3 will automatically reset and at the same time detect what kind of video cables you are using. From what I remember you have the hold the power button for a long time until it starts flashing or something.

i think if you hold down the ps button while it starts up it reverts to whatever you have plugged in.i think.

lol i had that happen to me. what i did i basically called my friend and he walked me through it in numbers, like press left 4 times go down 3 times click x etc....

i think you should hold the power button for 10 secs so the ps3 would reset.
