No Sound with Blue Ray and Projector?

Question

I have a PS3 as my Blue Ray player and a projector. I hooked up the HDMI cable and I can get the crisp movie image. However, there is no sound.

The projector does not have its own stereo system so I was wondering what I needed to do to hook up the speakers in my theater so I can get sound from Blue Ray movies.

Thanks

In your PS3 settings, keep the video at HDMI, then go down to the audio setting and change it from HDMI to optical out, this way you can watch the video on HDMI (through your projector) and the sound will go through your receiver's optical audio in and you will have HD video with Dolby Digital. This set up means that the sound will come out of your receiver's speakers and the video image will come out of your projector.

If your receiver has HDMI connections, connect the ps3 HDMI, then to the receiver then the output HDMI of your receiver to the projector. I am assuming you do not have HDMI in your receiver then follow my instructions above.
