I'm not familiar with using the PS3 on a projector. However, I have used on LCD's. HDMI cables carry a digital signal. It shouldn't matter how long the cable is, unless the cord is completely severed.

I have seen people having some similar issues when the cable is more than 30'. I'll leave that for you to research. My best guess is that the PS3 or the projector need a settings tweak. Are they both fully updated (do projectors have firmware?). You could try all that, or call Panasonic tech support. They're usually helpful.
