Setting up a PS3 to a HDTV with Denon AVR-1507 Receiver?

Question

I'd appreciate some help trying to set it up to the TV and the receiver. I have the AV multi out cable going to the TV. I have the optical audio cable going to the receiver. But, no sound going through the speakers.

If there is no HDMI cable on the receiver, should I set up the PS3 to the receiver?

Or, should I set up an analog cable going to the receiver from the tv? Any suggestions on how to do that?

OR, what doing wrong with the audio optical cable?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If your TV has an HDMI input, hook up the PS3 w/an HDMI cable to the TV.  This will give you a high def picture (set up the PS3 to output the max resolution your TV displays).  That will take care of the video side.

Next hook up an optical cable from the PS3 to the receiver.  In the PS3 menu, you have to change the audio settings to output the sound via the optical cable.  

Finally to get sound out of the receiver to the speakers, you have to setup the receiver source input.  For example if you setup the PS3 to play thru "VCR" input, then you have to make sure the VCR input is setup to use either optical 1 or optical 2 for sound (whichever one you have the optical cable plugged in from the PS3).
