What should I look for in purchasnig a reviever that will work for PS3 audio via-HDMI cable.I am wanting to get true uncompressed 7.1 audio out of my PS3.I was sold a pioneer vsx-1017txv-k under the assumption that this unit was very cappiable of doing this.When I got it home and played around trying to get audio out of my HDMI inputs learned it was NOT going to do this.Any suggestions as what to get when I return this unit on monday??(budget @$800)

Answer 1

You need a receiver with HDMI 1.3a.  I really like Onkyo TX-SR605/705/805/905 - pick one depending on the price range you are in.

I have a higher-end Onkyo PR SC885 Pre-Pro and PS3 - great sound with uncompressed sound!
