Hey, you know how on RFoM how if you don't have a headset you can listen through the speakers, right? Well, I left it on when I played Calling all Cars (hearing headsets through TV), and now that I DO have a headset, it won't register w/ Calling all Cars. Is there a way to fix this without sys restore?

Nerdy ain't easy but it sure is fun!

You have to make sure its selected under accessory settings. If you havent selected it then things will continue to work as though you don't have a headset.

@sallab: You can't update from a US to a UK firmware (or between any regions) if its the same firmware number.

Download and update to the US firmware 2.00 from here:

Could someone please advise me, I'm buying my son who's 11, a PS3 for Xmas, is the only difference between the 40 and 60gb is that the 60 plays the PS2 games that he will probably trade in and buy PS3 games

Get him a 40GB. Like you said, he probably won't be playing much PS2 games anyway. The hard drive space really isn't a big deal. If it came down to it, you could just install a bigger hard drive in there yourself.

hi i got a ps3 plugged up thru HDMI to a phillips 60 inch hdtv. got my ps3 in april and played for a while enjoyin Fall of man online. When I upgraded to 2.0 I noticed Resistance didnt quite fit on the screen anymore. Its like it's too big for my 60 inch screen. Turns out actually even the ps3 main menu is too big. I've looked and looked thru options on the ps3 and changed this and that. looked thru options for my tv but found nothing. You can change tv format while in AV1, AV2, and AV3 but not while under HDMI. I can change the ps3 to 480p and it seems to fit screen correctly but looks all big like for someone with glasses and then whats the point of the tv being widescreen? If ANYONE has ANY idea to help me out here I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS!

Try upgrading to 2.01, Sony has fixed some bugs which were in 2.00.

I have upgraded to 2.01 and it's the same. If I load the ps network homepage and look thru downloadable games or whatever I cant see everything there. It's pretty damn lame. Why would they destroy a good thing?

I think your tv must be on a wrong display size setting. No one else is having your problem. Mine is perfect just like before. You should do some snooping around in your tv's settings. :) Good luck.

Oh joy, what do you know you happen to be right. I did yet some more messing around with the tv and figured out my problem. This http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/6/60pp9..._37_pss_aen.pdf is my tv. When in AV1, AV2, or AV3 I can just press <, >, or the format button on the remote to change display formats. I got use to pressing < and > which doesnt work while in HDMI. The format button however does. Problem solved, go figure. Sony shouldnt mess me up like that. I dont like change. lol THANKS for the help!



This http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/h/hts34..._37_pss_aen.pdf came free with the tv. Getting gOOd use out of it. :)

all ps3 games are region free. So yes. to the previous poster, if you are using rca cables, make sure to set your ps3 video output as such. If it is set wrong it won't display correctly.

um, th last firmware was 2.01, and the new one is 2.10. you mush have been owned.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

I had the horrible buzzing noise in the speakers of my mit 60 incher, and i couldn't turn the volume up very loud without hearing it. I used a makeshift adapter (ripped out the third prong of a power strip) and it works fine. Now to get a long term solution...Anyway THANKS! You guys saved me several frustrating trips to walmart

What else do you have plugged into this power strip that might cause this? Sometimes anything having to do with batteries charging can cause this "whine" you are getting.
Also, I think ripping off the ground to your power strip is not a good idea. If you get zapped by lightning you could shoot your ps3 and mit 60 incher into the ground. LOL. Try plugging your TV only into a different outlet altogether different from the one the power strip is on. Or go out and by a 179.00 monster cable power strip that does the same thing that the one you have now does ... J/K. Good luck with that, I hate whining tv's bleh!!

i meant owned in the fashion that the firmware you say you installed is nt a real firmware. 2.01 was the last one in single digits. and 2.10 or .11 is current. you may need to send it in if you cant update.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...
