How to Calibrate a TV With a PS3

Turn off the PS3 by pressing the power button. Next, press and hold the power button for five seconds or longer, until the system beeps twice. This resets the video output setting to standard definition (SD).

Press the "Input" button on the TV remote repeatedly until you see the home screen for the PS3.

Use the PS3 controller to select "Settings," then "Display Settings" and then "Video Output Settings." Press the "X" button to choose this setting.

Pick the connection format used to connect the TV and PS3. For example, if you connected the PS3 to the TV using the supplied AV (RCA) cables, select "AV Cable" and then press the "Play" button. Select "Yes" and then press "X" to confirm your choice, when prompted.

Select the resolutions supported by your TV (check the TV user manual for this information) and then press the "Play" button.

Pick the screen size of your TV and then press the "Play" button. This option is only displayed if you pick "Standard (NTSC)" or "480p" in the previous step. Otherwise, the PS3 automatically uses the 16:9 aspect ratio. Press "X" to confirm your selection.

Select the proper audio output in accordance with your connection cables. Select "Automatic" if a HDMI cable is used. Select "Digital Out" for an optical cable connection or select "Audio Input Connector / SCART / AV MULTI" for all other connections.

Select "Yes" and then press "X" to confirm your settings.
