Can't get picture from game consoles to show up on new TV?

I got a new TV for Christmas (Emerson LED TV). I bought an Audio/Visual switch to connect my DVD player, Wii, and PS3 to the TV so I wouldn't have to unplug and plug devices all the time when I want to use one like I did with my old TV. However, I can't get the picture from either game console to show on my TV. I don't know if it's the switch, a TV setting, or something else that I'm not aware of. Help!

    You need to use HDMI from the PS3 to feed your HDTV.

    Throw away the DVD player. It is a standard def device and not compatible with your new TV. Your PS3 will play your DVD's.

    And the Wii - also a standard def device.

    Sorry.
