Unlock comes up on Video 2 on Sony HT-7100DH when using PS3 and no sound comes through surround speakers?

Question

Hooked up PS3 with HDMI cable to Video 2 input for Blue Ray disk player on Sony HT-7100DH home theatre system. Video is fine but audio goes through TV speakers not speakers on Home Theatre as it should do. On the display on the HT-7100DH when set to Video 2 it says "Unlock".

Answer 1

The HDMI on this receiver does not process sound. To get surround you will need to run an optical cable from your PS3 to the optical input marked BD or Video 2. I believe it has 2 optical and 1 coax digital input in a vertical row on the right end of the receiver (looking at it from the front) and I think the second from the top is the input you need to use. Hope this helps.

The "HDMI passthrough" is kind of deceptive. It makes you believe you are purchasing a setup that can run an HD device with 1 cable, nice thought but it ain't happening.
