On my ps3 i have tried various BD movies but the picture is still the same. a quarter of the picture is ripped off and slapped at the bottom, therefor creating a 'topsy turvy' kind of effect. the picture is also in black and white and not colour. my tv is a technosonic and is HD ready. i dont use a HDMI cable but i understand you dont need one to watch BD movies, but only if you want the full 1080p resolution. any help would be much appreciated.

well I've never heard of this. Have you checked all your connection settings. Possibly you have something labeled as HDMI or something. I hope this problem is only temporary.

Check your settings on the PS3 so that are not set to HDMI! Make sure they are on auto

turn the ps3 off. press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to turn it on, you should hear 2 beeps. and see if its one of the video settings you put in thats messing it up

i've had this happen to me at the theaters twice...but never on my own set

interesting...hope you can fix it

reedy_7 · 04-07-2008, 04:22 PM

i use a scart lead to connect. do you think if i buy a hdmi cable and configure it, it might fix it. i know that sounds like the obvious option but does anyone firmly believe it will?

crackinhedz · 04-07-2008, 04:29 PM

do you have the cable connected correctly?

and im assuming you have a UK PS3? does it have an option for "Cross Color Reduction Filter" try enabling it.

Settings - Display Settings - Cross Color Reduction Filter - Enable

...this is the US way to get to it, not sure how it is for the UK (or if it even applies to SCART connection?)

reedy_7 · 04-07-2008, 04:43 PM

i'll try that when i get in. thanks for the help. and your right im from the UK.

HDMI is not essential but it would give you a better picture especially if your TV could do 1080p. Looks like your TV set has some kind of syncing issue. HDMI may fix this problem as well (but cannot say for sure).
