I want to hook up my PS3 to my TV using the HDMI cable for HD playback, but to my receiver via optical cable for 5.1 sound. I can't figure out the settings to get the sound to work. I have HD playback but no sound on the receiver. ANy help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn

    You have to be smarter than the technology Shawn.

    Easy set audio to bitstream out. No audio from Hdmi. You can't output audio from HDMI and Optical at the same time. There is an option in the audio menu system. you will see it.

    My wife played Guitar Hero once and wanted to get the game. I have an XBOX(not 360) so I am going to try and sell it and get a PS2 so that we will have some games we will play together.
    I know just enough to be dangerous, but don't tell my wife, she thinks I'm a genius. :D

    Blue Jeans Cable - speaker cable
    Daewoo 27 incher - one step up from a console
    Sony Progressive scan DVD
    XBOX

    SOPA since 2008
    Here's my stuff.

    I got my ps3 yesterday to get in on the 5 free blu-ray movie offer. Watched some scenes from Spiderman 3 and I almost shat. Toby McGuire needs some sort of face cream. :P
