PS3 Question

[Lake Chuck Duck]

I was loaned a ps3 that was just recently un-hooked from its origin then brought immediately to my house and hooked up and I cant get picture.

details of problem:
I am hooking up to a basic non-HD TV. I tried hooking it up using the 5 part RCA cable(blue, green, red, white, red) and never got picture or sound. I swapped cables to the basic rca cable(red, white, yellow) and still no picture or sound.

Does anyone got any information? Do I need to hook it back up to my bro-in-laws tv(uses hdmi) and go in and change a setting?

Note: this is not a PS3 vs. xbox thread
