So, I have an old Hitachi TV, with 2 scart slots in the back, for AV-1 AND 2. My SKY box will automatically come up on the screen when plugged into either of the TV's scart slots with a scart lead, when the SKY box is turned on the TV will switch to AV-1 OR 2, and show whats coming from the box, same with my DVD player.

I have also connected many other consoles to it such as an XBOX via composite cables in a scart lead adaptor. However when I do the exact same setup, which is my PS3's composite cables plugged into a scart lead adaptor then into the AV-1 or 2 slot, and I turn it on, nothing happens, and I have no remote for the TV. I have used the TV's buttons to switch channels but it goes from 0-99 only.

AV's are no where in sight and can only be accessed by putting the Sky Box in etc... SO I'm confused why wont it work with my PS3. My ps3 is perfectly fine as I have used it on an older TV using the DVD player as a hub for it, but I cant do it directly to the TV. And I've tried using the DVD as a hub and the ps3 screen will show when I turn the DVD player off, but only for a few seconds, then it goes back to one of the 0-99 channels, blank. HELP! please.

I have tried holding PS3 standby button down until I hear 2 beeps but nothing happens

Hi
A TV switches when it detects an input signal,it could be that the PS3 output level is slightly too low.
Not much you can do apart from getting something like this

This should definitely work although it does cost a bit of money (although not a lot).
