Default PS3 Playing DVD's?? i'm confused

Normally i play my dvd's in the dvd player... but just now i put it in the ps3 by mistake..

not to wory i thought, it plays dvds... ahhh well no it doesnt so it seems.

The PS3 is connected to the TV via a hdmi cable. When the dvd is inserted it reads it as a dvd then goes on its merry way to play it. The Tv pops up with a little box saying no signal being recieved.

Whats that all about then?

sounds like the PS3 upscaling the DVD to a resolution that your TV can't output ?

I tried a few other dvds and none of them will play. I tried the av cable that you get with the PS3 as standard and they work that way.

The tv i have is a 2k LG HD tv. I doubt very much the tv cant display whatever the PS3 is trying to do.

I'm assuming now that the PS3 wont upscale normal DVD's through an HDMI cable.

Sounds a bit strange that, I play normal DVD's through my PS3 via HDMI no problem, its only backup DVD's that it won't play - invalid disc error.

Does your TV support 1080p ? If not have you tried adjusting the DVD Upscaler settings under BD/DVD Settings. Assuming you have the 1.80 firmware update.

Nope.

Definitely it will. I have a full 1080p TV and my normal DVDs upscale fine on it.

yup. Upscaling only came in recently (1.80 IIRC), and there have been two minor updates since then (1.82 now).

I tried the upscaling to dubble but it still does the same thing, there are a few more options to choose from but i got board waiting.

Tv supports 1080p as well.

hmm, dunno. You should have upscaling working, perhaps it's a fault :-(

All I can say is the PS3 definitely upscales DVDs from v1.80 onwards. It should work on both 780p and 1080i/p tvs.

Not sure what to suggest, other than if you know someone else with a PS3 you can try on the telly?
