PS3 Blu-Ray problem

[Jedi]

I've noticed when I'm watching Blu-Rays on my PS3 that my picture shakes every once in a while. It's not a huge shake, it's like the picture shifts and shifts back all within a split second. I'll rewind the disk and it doesn't do it a second time. Everything will be fine and it will do it again a few minutes later, maybe 5 or 6 times a movie.

It's not that big of deal, just wondering if this has happened to anybody else. I don't know if this would be a PS3 problem, or the reciever, or just the cheap HDMI cables that I bought. Any ideas?

Any certain disc or all in general?

[Jedi]

All of them.

Is it a vertical "shake"? I'm no expert, but it seems that the PS3 might have trouble taking a 1080p24 encode and interlacing it to send 1080i60 to that CRT RPTV. I wonder if you would have the same problem with the Discovery Channel version of Planet Earth which is actually a 1080i encode. Maybe you could try it and see?

It seems to be more horizontal, like the picture shifts left then back to the right. It never goes black. It's very quick and it's not a huge shift, it's very slight. I have not noticed this with my hd dvr, or watching sd dvd's on the PS3.

Sounds like a power surge of some kind.. Do you happen to have a power conditioner/regulator that shows the voltage reading?

[Jedi]

No, I don't. Everything is plugged into a surge protector.

You can definitively try it with the regular composite cables and see if it still does it. If so then next I would try a different tv set just to see if its the machine or the tv or maybe a handshake issue. I am going to assume your tv will not accept anything else but 1080i or 480i and I dont think the PS3 will output 480i over HDMI unless I am mistaken.
