If it's the first time using your PS3, use the composite cables that came with it. Turn on the PS3 go to video settings and switch the input to HDMI. After you've switched to HDMI, turn the PS3 off and connect your HDMI cable, go back to video settings and change the resolution to 1080p. If this isn't the first time you've used HDMI for your PS3, make sure your T.V. is on the correct input. If the T.V. is on the correct input, try switching the HDMI cable to a different input. If that doesn't work try using a different HDMI cable, testing different HDMI connections if you're still getting the black screen. If none of those work then it's probably a problem with the PS3, but just to make sure try plugging something else with HDMI to see if that works. If another HDMI device works, then it's your PS3, if it doesn't then it could be a problem with your HDMI connections on the T.V.
Hi, This model has 4 HDMI inputs, do you get same problem in each HDMI input? Did you checked HDMI input with any other video source like dvd player or PS3 etc instead of cable box? Below are few helpful tips to connect HDMI input.. 1. Ensure that your HDMI cable is certified. 2. Press SOURCE on the remote control to switch to another source and then switch back to the HDMI source. 3. Reset the accessory device and the TV. • Turn on the TV • Select the HDMI channel • Turn on the accessory device 4. While the TV and the accessory device are powered on, unplug either end of the HDMI cable and then reinsert the cable. Try above options and if tv still does not show picture of any video source through HDMI then it seems problem of HDMI processor located on main board, visual check is needed by qualified tech or call Philips if tv is under warranty. Hope these info will help you. Thanks.
Hello, the HDTV input is what you would use if you were not using a cable box.
You should connect your cable from the wall to coaxial input on the cable box, and connect an hdmi cable from the hdmi output on the cable box to the hdmi 1 input on your tv and then switch the tv to that input.

Are you sure it's the TV and not the video source ? Have you tried other video sources ? You can also try to switch over to component cable. The red/green/blue colored cable. You only need HDMI for blu-ray to get the 1080p. If your TV is only 1080i then you don't even need to use HDMI. Also, some sources actually look better with a component cable compared to HDMI. Give it shot.
No sir, there is not such switch in menu to change input from S video to HDMI or something. Here is one suggestion, Use 3 RCA pins cable (Audio L/R & Video) to connect both unit and check/ remember TV input and same should be selected in TV menu.
