PS3 Out of Range message when quitting game

[imsk4376]

When i initially set up my PS3 at home on a Sony 40v4000 via hdmi lead i had no problem installing and connecting to a wireless

I then took my PS3 down to my residence at work address and hooked it up to a Sony 32v4000 via a hdmi lead. I can play games no problem but when i quit game to go to xmb bar to try to connect to internet, the screen flickers and then "out of range" message appears.
Reading other forums it seems as if i have wrong settings, i.e. 1080 or 720, but my tv is set up for auto detect so surely i shouldn't get this problem.

Any suggestions?

are you talking about connecting to the internet or to a t.v? I'm not quite sure as you're talking about wi-fi one minute then the model/make of the tv you're connecting it to the other.



They're both two different things, not sure why you're confusing the two.

720/1080p refers to the screen resolution and has absolutely no bearing on your internet connection.

Sorry, i believe the message refers to the tv/ps3 settings. I was attempting to set up internet connection. In order to do this I have to quit game and this is when message appears.

Right i'm halfway to understanding what's going on.

It sounds like your ps3 is readjusting the resolution to something the new tv isn't compatible with.

Looking at the t.v (bravia v4000), it should be compatible with all resolutions upto 1080p.

What happens when you turn the ps3 on initially (plugged into the new tv) ? It doesn't go straight into the game, so what happens and what boxes in the display settings do you have the resolution set to?

You should only have 720p and 1080p ticked.

The 40v4000 supports 1080p so when the PS3 auto-detected the display settings it set the XMB to 1080p, the 32v4000 supports 720p but the PS3 still thinks its connected to the 40v4000 so it is trying to output 1080p which is out range of the 32v4000. Go to the display settings on the PS3 and auto-detect the display settings again.

Thanks, makes a lot of sense now. Will try it after work tonight!

Manually select the HDMI resolutions...select everything bar 1080P and you'll be fine.
