PlayStation®3 General Discussion

Just got a PS3 primarily for Blurays and media streaming. I've got a component cable to connect to my TV and have a HDMI cable connected to the projector. Audio goes to my receiver through TOSLink. The TV max display is 480i, the projector goes up to 1080p. Everything works sweet on either display when I change the display settings, but its a bit of a pain switching over each time. I was wondering if there is a way to either make the display settings switch to HDMI automatically when the projectors on, but default to 480i component output otherwise? At the moment the PS3 detects a HDMI component on startup every time (regardless of whether projector is on or not) and asks if I want to switch to HDMI output. If I use the projector/switch to HDMI I have to remember to switch back to component before I switch off else it will stay on HDMI next time I restart. Alternatively can I assign particular display settings to a user profile? so I have a profile called TV and another called Projector, each with its own settings. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

No way to do it automatically or to assign users. Best way to do it would be to have it set to HDMI then buy a box that splits HDMI to HDMI and whatever SD connection you're using.

as addy says - although I'm not sure if such a box exists?

The other problem is the disparity in resolutions

My only suggestion would be a twist on addy's, (and would cost more ), which would be to get a 1080p TV, and an HDMI splitter

in there some where is a device with a auto button function for screen resolutions .. but if it helps you I your case I dunno
