PS3: Unsupported mode - so you solve the problem
If your TV reports the "Unsupported mode" error after connecting the PS3, this is due to incorrect graphics settings. In this practical tip, we will show you how you can easily solve the problem.
Unsupported mode: PS3 shows no picture
- If you use the PS3 on a television, you usually choose the highest possible resolution. The console remembers this setting for simplicity.
- If the PlayStation 3 is now connected to a somewhat older television with lower graphics performance, the console will not notice it. It continues to deliver the old resolution.
- If the television cannot process the high resolution, it issues an error. To solve the problem, all you have to do is reset the graphics settings.
