You can't see any picture on the TV screen:

- Try to change the AV cable, it might be faulty. Ensure you use a Playstation 3 compatible cable.

- Turn off the system.
- Disconnect all the cables.
- Reconnect only the AV cable from the console to the TV.

The picture on TV is distorted or cannot play DVD or Blu-ray Disc (BD):
- When playing a DVD (or Playstation format software) in SD resolution, only discs recorded in the NTSC standard will work.
- If you have connected your console to a VCR (or to any device before the TV), then the copy protection encoding on some DVD's and BD's might cause distortion. Connect your TV directly to your console.
- If the region code on the console doesn't match with the DVD or BD, it cannot be played.
- Some DVDs and BD's are set with parental control restrictions. Enter the password that was set in "Security Settings" to change the restriction or control level.
- The BD may be disc-locked, enter the password with which the disc was created.
