PS3 or receiver issues....help?!

[twenty-one]

Hi everyone, here is the scenario: my girlfriend's parents bought a new theater system and had it installed from the "geek squad" from best buy. They purchased:

Samsung LN-T4661F TV
Yamaha RX-V661 receiver
PS3

The issue is during movie playback (doesn't matter if its a BD or DVD), the screen will flash/flicker completely off then back on again repeatedly. They do have a high definition cable box (also runs through the receiver) with no problems. It seems odd, but when we play games with it, everything works fine. This is occurs only when playing movies.

I have hooked up the HDMI wire directly from the PS3 to the TV and that seems to fix the problem. It seems to be an issue with PS3 setting? However, I'm not familiar withe PS3 but have heard that certain settings can "confuse" a receiver...is that accurate?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my next step might be? Or perhaps an answer if this is common?

THanks!

Just call the Greek Squad and let them know that during movie playback on PS3, the receiver kept going on and off.

I had the same problem with my TX705 but all i did just keep the volume real low before i start on the PS3 til the wave finish booting before i turn the volume back on and start a movie... just dont have the reciever up too loud.

Just read the manual book of the receiver. PS3 does carry alot of power.


Check on the setting on the PS3 for HDMI and choose automatically, most ppl do manual if they were expert.

Make sure you have the 24FPS setting to automatic....
Settings>BD/DVD Settings/BD 1080p 24 Hz Output (HDMI)
I'd try the same thing for BD/DVD Video Output Format (HDMI)
