Hardware Questions about the RCA cables...

[MarcusRaven]

I'm going on vacation, and I'm taking my PS3. I may run into situations where I need to use the RCA cables that came with the system, but I don't know how to get the PS3 to detect them. I've only ever used HDMI. How do I get the system to detect that the RCA's are plugged in so I can actually get a visible screen?

Also, is it possible for the PS3 to output the video through HDMI and the sound through RCA? I'm asking this because I may also use my PS3 for youth events at my church (of which I am the Youth Director).

bascially

Make sure the system is off.
Hold down the Power Button for 5-6 seconds - until you hear the second beep.
That's it, your video settings are reset and you should be able to choose your input and configure it from there.

it also should be possible to route the sound via the composite, in not sure though
worst case scenario is you have to buy a optical to composite converter
