Play station 3 Blueray help?

I have no idea how to work my PS3. I put in a movie DVD into the PS3, set the TV to HDMI2, I can hear the sound of the movie, but the screen is black. The TV is on, I’ve tried turning on and off the TV’s DHS, but it’s still black. The wires of the PS3 are properly connected to the TV, and I’ve pressed every button on all of my remotes. I don’t know what else to do. How do I fix this?

    You have to reset your PS3 video settings to the source you’re using in this case that would be HDMI high definition.

    If you are attempting to change from a different video cable or if the video output settings do not match those required for the display in use, the screen may stay black. If the screen stays black for more than 30 seconds, you may need to reset the video output settings of the PLAYSTATION 3.

    HDMI cable installation instructions:

    Before you begin installation:

    * Turn OFF the PS3™ system using the [MAIN POWER] switch (in the back)

    * Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet

    * Turn OFF and unplug the TV

    Connect one end of the HDMI cable into the [HDMI OUT] port on the back of the PLAYSTATION 3 system. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable into the [HDMI Input] port of the TV or display monitor.

    Plug in the AC power cord by connecting one end of the AC power cord into the [AC IN] port on the back of the PS3 system and the other end into an electrical outlet.

    Press the [MAIN POWER] switch on the rear of the system. A red light should appear on the front of the system indicating power is available.

    Turn on the PLAYSTATION 3 by pressing the touch-sensitive [On/Off button] on the system front. The red light will turn green, indicating the PLAYSTATION 3 is now turned on.

    Plug in the TV and turn the power on. The PLAYSTATION 3 should detect the HDMI display device automatically. When prompted, “Do you want to output video and audio using HDMI?”, select YES and press the X button icon button. (You may need to press the PS button on the center of the DUAL SHOCK Controller to enable the controller first.)

    The next screen will ask, “Do you want to automatically switch to the optimal setting?” Select YES and press the X button icon button.

    On the next screen, the PLAYSTATION 3 will display the maximum resolution capable on the display (i.e., 1080p). The screen will display, “Do you accept the setting?” You will have 30 seconds to confirm your answer. Select YES and press the X button icon button to save your settings. You have now completed the HDMI installation.

    To reset video settings do the following:

    1. Turn the PLAYSTATION 3 system off by holding the Power button on the front of the console.

    2. Then hold the power button on the front of the console for at least five seconds to turn the system on again. The video output settings will automatically be reset to the standard resolution.

    Good luck !
