How to Reset the Audio and Video Settings on the PS3

When moving your PlayStation 3 from one television to another, the audio settings will stay on the previous TV. That makes for some issues when you plug it into the new one. This is particularly a problem when going from a Hi-definition source to a standard source. Luckily, there is a simple fix to reset the audio and video to the default settings, and from there, you can reconfigure them to your preference.

Things You'll Need

PlayStation 3
Audio/Video Cables

Instructions

Turn on, hold, and reset
- 1
  Turn your PS3 off, if it is on.
- 2
  Hold down the power button for 5-7 seconds. You will hear the initial beep, meaning its powering on, but you want to wait for a second beep, which means it has reset the audio and video settings.
- 3
  Configure the settings how you'd like them on the set-up screen displayed on your TV.
- 4
  Repeat this step if you're switching to a different cable type on a different TV.
