My brother got a PS3 today after lots of saving but can't get it to display on standard TVs... I hear it needs to be changed for either HD or stand TVs to get it to display. The screen is just black. He's tried holding the power button in like instructed but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?

Composite (not to be confused with component) can't carry a HD signal anyway. In fact, the signal provided by composite connection is well below the resolution of last generation's consoles.

Maybe you just got a faulty AV lead? Just guessing though.

Have you tried it on the HD tv?
Are you on the AV channel?
What colour is the LED on your PS3?
Does your PS3 make any beeping noises?

I use the AV cables for mine on my HD television and it works fine - also worked fine on my standard definition television using the AV cables. So it's either a faulty cable, a faulty PS3 or you're not on the correct channel or have the cables plugged incorrectly.

I still can't believe you can't see a difference between AV (composite) and HDMI on your tv... Video games looks nasty in composite on my tv.

I've never had a problem with AV cables on any television I've owned - that's with both the PS2 and PS3. When I used the HDMI cable the picture looked pretty much the same on my HDTV. If you're not using AV cables on your SDTV, what are you using?

I'm on about those red, yellow and white cables which come with the PS3 I don't know what they're called but I have to switch to the AV channel to use them. And the picture is perfectly fine for me x)

Yes or else it wouldn't have a HDMI port on the back and say "HD" on the front of it

Instead of making ANOTHER topic, I'll just ask this here:

Doesn't the BeatBox 3600 Elite come equiped with both component and HDMI leads? If so, which would providce the better quality?

You get Component and Composite cables free with an Xbox 360 yes , the Elite and all new Premium models have HDMI equipped. Though there is no difference in image quality at all, infact VGA is the best adapter since it bypasses all the copyprotection and all them legal areas and lets you watch upscaled DVD's.

RF < Composite < S-Video < RGB Scart < VGA=HDMI=DVI=Component

HDMI is the same as digital DVI except it carries audio as well and all HDMI receivers must support HDCP.
VGA is analog. Three wires are used for red, green and blue signals. Two are used for Horizontal and vertical sync. Using low linerates is not recommended with VGA.
DVI kan be either analog or digital. Analog DVI works like VGA.
Component has three cables, one for luminance+sync and one each for two color difference components.

There may be a difference in quality between HDMI and the analog signals if your tv has a poor A/D converter.
