The AV cable that comes with the PS3 is not for HDTV set up. You need to purchased a HDMI cable or a Sony PS3 component cable and then it should work.
If your PS3 was set for HD TV and you want to connect it to a regular or standard 480i TV go to your settings and change them back and also switch back to the A/V cable that came with the PS3 from the HD cable. This is not rerouting your PS3 it is changing the PS3 television monitor
no you do not have to have an hdmi for ps3 but i would recommend it to play your games in hd because hdmi stands for hi-definition multimedia interface. The HDMI cable is for the PS3 to connect to HDTVs and is not needed for standard TVs which do not even have HDMI inputs. If your TV has HDMI inputs you need to purchase a HDMI cable before you spend your money on a new game, Movie, download or anything else because it is not giving you a picture from the PS3 in HD
Plug cable into your ps3 then into your tv (your tv must have a hd channel) then just change to the hd channel and turn it on
The size doesn't change anything. Its how you connect the console to the TV. You will have a standard VGA connect, HD cable or HDMI cable. Your TV will provide you with ether a VGA cable (none HD tv) or a HD/HDMI cable (HD ready or Full HD 1080p)
