Surround Sound with PS3?

Question

I hooked up Surround Sound and have an HDMI cable from PS3 to TV HDMI 1 and then an HDMI cable from receiver to HDMI 2 on TV I get surround sound from dvds in receiver how do I get it from dvds in PS3. There isnt any other HDMI hookups on the PS3 or receiver only one on each saying HDMI out

Answer 1

You get it out of your dvd's because I am assuming the dvd player is built into your receiver.  You are not getting any audio from your playstation because you only have the HDMI going to the tv, which will not transmit audio to the receiver.  You have a couple options...

1) Your best option if possible would be to run the playstation 3 HDMI into the receiver.  However, you already mentioned this will not work

2) Run an optical cable from your playstation 3 into the receiver if possible.  This will give you digital sound.

3) If your TV supports it, run an optical cable from your TV to your receiver.

Any other questions, let me know.

Hope this helps!
