It could be that you don't have the cable plugged into the correct spot on your TV. If you are using the AV cable that came with the PS3 and not a Component PS3 cable 2 of the RCA plugs go for sound and only one is for Video. The AV cable that came with the PS3 is not for a HDTV connection and the settings need to be corrected. While you said you changed houses you must have also changed TV's or you would not have needed to switch from HDMI. If your new TV is an HDTV then you need to purchase a PS3 component cable if it doesn't have HDMI plugs and if not you need to change your settings on the PS3.

To set the PS3 setting on the PS3 back see the PlayStation Super Secrets link which I have clip and pasted below:

Hold Power button down for two beeps (while PS3 is off): Reset video to lowest settings.

Is the HDMI cable for PS3 good?

Connecting the PS3 to a HDTV with HDMI inputs is best rather than only good when using an HDMI cable. It allows a single cable to easily connect with an excellent connection and only a single plug and also allows a sync between the two devices. When I put a disc in the PS3 the TV turns on and switches to the PS3 from my Cable box. If the TV is already on it switches the HDTV from cable over to the PS3 and back when I turn off the PS3. The PS3 HDMI cable sold by Sony is a good quality cable and support all the features of the PS3, namely HDMI 1.4A with 3D video. It is also cheaper than some other HDMI cables that are sold in the TV area of most consumer electronics stores. When I purchased by HDMI cable at Walmart that store was out of the PS3 HDMI cable and I purchased the Sony Flat HDMI cable for a little more. Most named brand cables work fine and you should never pay full retail for a HDMI cable. You do not have to purchase a PS3 cable and many of the other Sony cables work fine. Currently Walmart has the Sony HDMI Cable w/ USB Cable Pack (PS3) for $34.97 and it is the same price as just the Sony 6.5' HDMI Cable (PS3) and without the extra charging cable

Where to buy a HDMI for your PS3?

HDMI cables can be bought at almost any electronics store. Any HDMI cable will work with your PS3, but Sony does sell an official HDMI cable. However, this official cable costs 60 US Dollars, which may be well out of the price range for many PS3 owners.


What is the best HDMI cable to connect a PS3 to a LCD 1080p LED HDTV?

The best HDMI cable is not necessary or recommended. Walmart sells Sony PS3 HDMI cables and you to even upgrade to a higher cost and quality Sony HDMI Cable. That is what I did only because Walmart was out of the PS3 HDMI cables when I got the PS3 went to purchase a HDMI cable. I purchased a Flat Sony HDMI cable for $45. You can pay over $100 for an HDMI cable and still not have the best and not be able to tell the reception from another name brand cable sold for $20. I plugged other devices (Sony Camera, Cable Box) into the Sony BR6 HDTV with Belkin HDMI cables and get fine reception.


Can a Nintendo ds usb cable be used for the ps3?

Yes. A USB cable is under standardization like an HDMI cable. I like to keep my PS3 components restricted to Sony and purchased the 2 pack of Sony USB cables at amazon for the PS3 for $10 that have a normal USB to plug into the PS3 and a Smaller to plug into the controller. I also went to Walmart and Purchased a Sony flat HDMI Cable for $ 40 when I got the system. I also went with the Sony Charging Station for the Move controllers from Amazon for $20. I know that other good products are available for each of my Sony Purchases and some like HDMI cable can be made to a much higher standard. For the USB 4 Port hub I chose a Belkin The same USB Sony PS3 2 Pack I purchased at amazon for $10 are now $37 and I would have just ordered the single Sony PS3 USB cable for $10
