"unsupported signal please check output device"

[Gamers14]

I have a Sony Bravia klv24p412b 24 inch LED TV. I tried connecting my ps3 using the hdmi cable to the tv. It gives an error message"unsupported signal please check output device". Please help me solve this problem! The hdmi cable works fine because I tried it with the laptop and it worked just fine. But when coming to the ps3 this is not the case.

set the resolution (and frequency rate) output specifically to something that the bravia can support.... that's what the complaint is.

@budwich - no disagreement.

Just a question: Could it also be ARC related?

Asking only because that was my first (and perhaps incorrect) thought.

Do you know how to do it by any chance?

And I checked my tv specs. It can display 1080p display

try another resolution.

unplug the hdmi cable at the tv. unplug the tv from the wall, reset the ps3. plug the tv into the wall and turn it on, check which inputs are "visble" (eg. not grey out / missing). The hdmi one should be gone. Turn the set off, plug in the hdmi cable at the tv, plug in cable at the ps3. turn set on, check input status. power up the ps3, select in the input. Hopefully, the system will come up.

only a 720p

that's only its "native resolution", it supports a number of resolutions. Likely issue, is some wrong setting in the basic setup of the tv... probably something to do with with various international video signals that it supports and that need to be set appropriately.
