| | Posted: | | | | At this point i've got an HDMI cable to my TV and an optical cable to my reciever. This means however you can not listen to all soundformats and sometimes the sound is downscaled to a PCM 2.0 track.
To prevent this go to Settings>BR/DVD Settings>BD Audio Output Format (optical Digital) and change the setting to Bitstream.
I want to but a new reciever though with HDMI support so i can have a PS3 connected to my reciever (via HDMI) and my reciever to my TV (again using HDMI).
Good Luck |

Awesome audio and picture quality My Onkyo is pre-HDMI. The only digital inputs are Coax or Optical. I guess I will go with Optical until I can upgrade the receiver. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I am using optical connector to connect to my receiver (also pre-HDMI). The optical will only give you 5.1 (and not the TrueHD stuff etc.), but for the time being it's god enough for me until I care to spend more money to upgrade the audio system. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

My amp is 6.1 - does this mean that even if I send as bitstream I would be downgraded to 5.1 if I have an optical connection? | | | | Paul |

It is, however, apparently still recommended to select bitstream as output. I think the search term to be used in Google is "TOSLINK"... That one gave me the best results when investigating this. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

How did you connect your PS3 to your A/V Receiver? Did you connect from your TV to your receiver or did you use the Digital (optical) connection? Initially I had a RGB output from the special output to the RGB-in of my Sharp TV. Both HDMI ports on the TV were already occupied by other equipment: the region-free upscaling DVD player and the HD-DVD player. The image on screen was fabulous already though upper limit was 1080i. Audio was via the optical out to my pre-HDMI Sony 5.1 receiver (similar to the equipment connected via optical or coax spdif). This allowed for anything like DD5.1 or DTS 5.1. Since a weeks I have a Denon receiver that accepts 4 HDMI inputs and still other video-ins, like from the cable decoder. It also accepts the HD audio formats. It cleaned up a lot of cables running to the TV. The PS3 is now HDMI-only connected to the receiver. This now allows 1080p from the PS3. Apart from the technical plusses of this set-up it greatly simplifies controlling the hardware by technofobe guests! | | | Eric
