The ps3 operating system is stored onboard and not on HDD. If you change your HDD, only game saves, music, videos and pictures are affected. Operating system remains intact.
I think its the tv. Its trying to lock onto a signal from receiver but keeps refreshing. Connected the hdmi direct to tv and using optic for sound. Love the receiver so I will stick it out till I find a solution.
I just purchased the Marantz 1403. Connected everything. Switched on. The setup comes on but tv keeps dropping signal. Thing just flashes on and off the screen. I bought a new HDMI 1.4 cable as well. Still no help. Can somebody please assist.
