From a quick look at the tv spec it would seem to cope with most inputs so I wonder if it may be due to input type selection. Mine on some inputs have sub options on its inputs which would be in the screen menu (mine has rca sockets and can become component or normal video input).
You say you can hear sound but no picture which sugests there is a signal of some sort (tv's and video's inputs become live when a video signal is present but if its poor in some way will not show) but allow sound through.
If the game is old then it may not conform to modern standards so present a blank screen. its hard to say what may be the problem but I think input selection or an incompatible signal looks to be a possible answer (if you have your plug ins correct)
A TV will only display certain resolutions from a pc I would try to lower your pc resolution to its lowest setting and see if that clears of the problem if it does then slowly increase the setting until you get that message again then dial back one setting and that will be the highest resolution it will take. Also be aware that if you are trying to play certain games on your pc while displaying on your HDTV that signal will not always render.
It sounds like the Bluray player may be outputting the signal at a higher resolution than the TV supports.
If the Bluray player has a scart or composite connection, connect with those first, and adjust its settings to output a lower resolution.
Then reconnect the HDMI.
Hope this works for you.
Check your resolution settings on you playstation 3 menu's. If you are using an HDMI cable, there is a chance that your ps3 could be trying to output at 1080i or 1080p. The unit you have only goes up to 720p and if you set it any higher than that, you run the risk of having picture issues, or not getting a picture at all. Good luck to you
After reading over your owners manual I can only offer once piece of advice. You should be able to reset your system by unplugging it from the power fully for 60 seconds. This is usually used during a power interruption or surge, but may assist in this case as well.
I had this problem with the GZ-MG505AA (connecting to WinXP SP3). I tried a different USB cable and it worked first time. Not sure what is different about the cables (the original cable worked fine with my WM 6 mobile phone).
