Connect it up to the tv using HDMI
Unless the tv not HD then your need to use the av components ![]()
Also can i ask if the PS3 is used or new ?

Hi Guys,
i m hoping one of you can help me! I am in Canada for a few months and have braught my playstation3 with me from Europe (i guess its safe to assume this is a PAL, there is no sticker under it). I am trying to connect it to my hotel room TV, which is a pretty crappy TV not even flat screen, when i connect it and switch it on, the picture comes up but flicking up and down very fast, basically making it impossible to use. If i am lucky i can read some of the PS3 menu items on screen.
is there a way for me to use my PS3 in Canada? it is connected using the red, white and yellow cables (not sure what you call them). I also have a set of HDMI cables that the TV has ports for.
any advice?

Hi
I had the same problem.
You should buy component cable for PS3 (it costs about 10-20 $) and connect your PS3 with this cable to the TV.
