Strange Behavior 2013 PS3 Game: Black, Horizontal "Bar-Code" Lines...Mixed Signals? Old Game and HDTV?

Does anyone know why this behavior occurs? On starting this PS3 game ("Tomb Raider", released 2013), there are screen flashes and black, horizontal "bar code"-like lines that appear right as the credits and title screen begin. The behavior may be seen here, until about 19s mark:

I managed to capture a split-second of it here:

I purchased a used, refurbished PS3 and this "Greatest Hits" game through Amazon recently and was disheartened to see this flashing behavior at the outset. My equipment is the following: PS3 Super-Slim, and Toshiba Fire TV 49.5 HDTV 4K, model 50LF621U19. On the jewel case, the game notes "HD Video Output: 480p, 720p". Other PS3 games seem to work just fine with this setup, although they appear to include "HD Video Output: 720p, 1080i, 1080p" or some such combination on the back of the jewel case. I have tried setting my PS3 to output only 720p (and also 1080p, 1080i, etc.) but no luck.

I’ve done a lot of research on this topic so far (although I am new to it) and since I haven’t found an answer I thought I would post (I’m new here, too). Is this because an older game is attempted to be played on a much newer TV? I can’t adjust my TV’s resolution down to 720p; it seems the lower-bound is 1080p, so maybe it has to do with a mis-match in the signals.

Is there any way to fix this? On the other hand, is this an intentional design choice by the developers?
