[Roku Select Series TV] No signal when pressing home button on PS5

We purchased our Roku - 65” Class Select Series 4k Smart Roku Tv about a week ago. So far it’s going pretty well. The only issue we’ve been is that when we’re playing on our PlayStation 5. When we are playing a game and press the home button it goes through this cycle of switching between a screen that is purple with a controller icon and says “PlayStation 5 No Signal (is it on?)”, then the screen goes black, then it flashes back to the PlayStation screen with the game we’ve been playing, then it repeats the cycle one more time going from the “is it on?” screen, to black and back to our PlayStation. This is extremely frustrating and makes playing difficult often. The whole process takes about 15+ seconds to cycle through. Anyone know what’s going on and how to fix it? Would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi! vNoDespair,

    A warm welcome from the Roku Community!

    Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your PS5 issue. We are happy to help.

    To eliminate the video delay on your HDMI or AV input, you can enable Game Mode for that source, improving the video response time.

    You can only use game mode with an external device connected to your Roku TV. Use the instructions below to turn game mode off or on when using that device.

    1. Switch to the input on your Roku TV where your game console or computer is connected (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2, AV).
    2. Press the Star button on your Roku TV remote.
    3. Use the directional pad to scroll up or down and select Advanced picture settings. The directional pad is plus-shaped and is in the center of your Roku remote.
    4. Scroll up or down and highlight Game Mode.

    Press left or right on the directional pad to turn game mode off or on.

    If you need additional help, use this link: What are the best settings on my Roku TV for gaming?

    Let us know if this helps or not. Thanks! We appreciate your feedback.

    Best regards,

    Arjiemar

      RokuArjiemar Unfortunately, that doesn’t solve my current issue as I already have “game mode” set to “on” and this problem has persisted despite this.

      Hi vNoDespair 

      Thanks for your patience while we looked into the issue you are experiencing with your Roku Select Series TV and PS5.

      At this time we would ask to see if you can disconnect your soundbar and see if that makes any difference in what you are experiencing. In addition, can you please provide us with the make and model of your soundbar.

      Please keep us posted and we will be more than happy to continue assisting you.


      Thanks,
      Danny
