PS3 component output problem

Anyone know how to fix this? Anyone? 50 views and nothing?

check the presets on the projector, make sure that the colour temp isnt set to the wrong colour. most of the time it takes a while to set up a projector.

AND MINE IS HOOKED TO OUR TV, SO I DOUBT ITS THE PROJECTOR

Hi, it sounds to me like you are using RGB component and the PS3 is switching to YPrPb for blu-ray content.

In YPrPb (also ambiguously called component) 'Y' is the juicy luminescence channel (effectively a black and white version of the video.) Perhaps not so coincidentally this pin is shared with the 'green' RGB channel..!

Thus if the PS3 switches into YPrPb component mode and you are using your displays RGB input - you will suddenly be seeing green..!

Now, the resolution of the RGB/SCART component output is limited to 640x480, while the YPrPb component output supports proper HD resolutions (720p etc). I think the PS3's logic will be something like: "Hey, you are trying to play HD content so i will switch to an HD output mode.."

Because the RGB output pins are shared with the YPrPb output pins the PS3 may be confused into thinking that a YPrPb output is available..? Other then that i am really not sure why it does this.

I believe that many of the 'proper' PS3 RGB cables have active circuitry in them and are really YPrPb --> RGB converters. This lets them support higher resolutions and get around this weird mode switching issue. YPrPb --> RGB conversion is non trivial so you basically need a fancy ASIC to do it... Hence these cables/converters cost quite a bit...

So all i can say is... Use YPrPb component or complain to Sony about it, as it seems to be there problem..
