HDMI-DVI D to playstation 3, why isn't it working.

Your Monitor probably isnt HDCP compatible.

You have to turn on the HDMI featues on the PS3. It's on the menu screen.

Turn on the ps3 using the button on the right corner of the console. Press and hold (you should hear 2 beeps) then let go and it will reset the video settings so your tv will be able to show it. Your lcd might not be hdcp compatible.

Just ordered a 10 ft HDMI to DVI D cord on the web and connected the HDMI componet from my playstation 3 and screwed in the DVI-D part into my acer AL1914 LCD monitor. Why the living hell isn't video coming out of it? On a side note I unpluged the audio and video cables that came with my playstation 3 and I even tried enableing HDMI setting buy using a regular TV to try to switch screens. tidusjeff

I use an hdmi cable with dvi adaptor, and it works fine.

Dvi does not carry sound like hdmi, so i use the composite cables that came with the ps3, also i have a sound adaptor from my 360 vga cable so i have to plug the red and white sound cables into the adaptor then plug the adaptor intothe pc audio slot to get sound.

Make sure you have changed your settings in the display setting parts on the ps3's xmb,360 changes them automaticly so your going to have to use the standard composite cale to get the picture on screen then head to display settings change it to hdmi with custom settings check the boxes for 720 and 1080 depending on whatres you wat if you want 720 do not check the box for 1080i.

Then press ok or push right and you have 30 secs to change the av channel to dvi and accept the settings if its working.

Also you will need to change the sound from hdmi to av/scart composite, im not sure what its called in the u.s as its called av/scart in europe, but it will have a picture of the supplied leads next to the setting.

My ps3 is plugged into a hd-tv that doesnt have an hdmi input, i bought a cheaper hd-tv for my gaming room as the 42" samsung i bought is downstairs and well my lass does;t allow me to play games downstairs since i spent so much money doing the gaming room and she wants the 42" tv downstairs so i have to use a 32" bush hd-tv, as you can tell my lass where the pants in this house.

Anyway i did not think it would work with ps3 in HD as it says nothing about being hdcp compatible i checked the entire manual the online site and nothing so i assumed it was not hdcp compatible but it still works fine displaying both 720p and 1080i.

So either my tv is not hdcp compatibe or it is and it doesnt mention it as a feature.

I was under the impression hdcp was only for hd movies, unless because ps3 games are on blu-ray hd-tv has to be hdcp compatible i thought it was some sort of piracy software for hd-dvd/blu-ray, although im really not sure.

Also i know theres 2 different type of dvi connectors dvi-d & dvi-i i really do not know the difference of these, maybe your tv is supposed to use dvi-i, i really do not know anything about dvi connections i just got a free dvi adaptor at pc world with my hdmi cable and hoped for the best and it worked.

Maybe someone else can tell you whats up with dvi-i and dvi-d.

If you like the monitor you currently have and arent interested in spending the money on a new monitor check out this is a great little device and for $150 its still cheaper than a new monitor...

I've used it with three different monitors and the video quality is great on all of them. Its just nice not having to worry about buying an HDCP compliant monitor.
