Troubleshooting the Connection of PS3 to Composite Jacks

The PlayStation 3 has a series of video outputs that can be connected to a television set. The composite video output, although the lowest resolution the PS3 is capable of, is always active. This enables the output to be used with any TV, whether analog or digital, because a composite video input is standard on all sets. To troubleshoot why the composite video jack is not functioning, perform a series of procedures that can reveal the problem. The PS3 will not be harmed in any way nor will its warranty be voided.
