How do i hook my ps3 to samsung surround?

Question

i have a samsung HT-X200, a sony bravia, and a ps3 that up until now i've been using an hdmi cable to connect my ps3 to the tv, i want to use the ps3 with surround but i can't figure out how, i've tried running the hdmi cable from the ps3 to the surround and then the av cables from the surround to the tv but i cant get it. I dont know if that would even be in hd if it did work.. so if you could help me that would be helpful. thanks.

Answer 1

You probably need an optical digital cable that runs from the back of the PS3 into the surround amp (mines Yamaha and that's what I use).

You can get one off eBay for about £3.00

Answer 2

If you are not using the Optical input on the back of your HT-X200 then purchase an optical cable (toslink) and run it from your ps3 to your HT-X200 then make sure your ps3 is set up under settings then audio to optical out. so the ps3 knows thats what you want your audio sent through.  I am attaching a link to your HT-X200 manual and page 10 talks about how to hook up a digital device like a ps3 to your HT-X200.

Answer 3

Try optical out. I'm not sure if your Sound System has it, but if so, connect it to your PS3 via that. Its the best quality too! :P

Answer 4

You need an optical (Toslink) cable. You should have an ouput for it on the back of your PS3 and in most cases surround sound systems will have an input.
