Hope someone can help here??!!
I have always had the PS3 set to 720p max through the components (as my display is a 3 year old Panasonic plasma with no HDMI inputs) and it has always worked fine on my display, whether connected direct or through my old Yamaha RX-V757 Receiver (which has a component switching loop).
I recently purchased an AVR350 to replace the Yamaha and the PS3 has worked fine whilst playing Little Big Planet (my daughters Xmas present - honest!) ever since Xmas. I had not tried any other game on the PS3 since taking delivery of the AVR350.
Just tried to play Colin McRae 'Dirt' and could only get the opening sequences before the screen goes blank. Cleaned disk, tried again but no change. Tried Formula 1 Championship Edition and got opening credits OK, distorted picture during menus (nearly illegable), but perfect picture during the game itself. Connected PS3 direct to the display and everything works as it should with no blank screens or distortion.
I reconnected the PS3 through the AVR350, changed the PS3 output setting to 1080i and unchecked the 720p box and now everthing works perfectly.
My question is, why won't it work properly on 720p through the AVR350? I thought it was a simple switching device for the component video??? Anyone else have this problem?? For your info, I am using a genuine Sony Multi AV to Component lead.
Many games are designed to run at their best on 720p, but I can't use the setting!! Whilst I can still play the games (and they still look perfect) there must be something going on in the AVR350 that's having an effect on the signal????
