please help with ps3/yamahaHTR6130/LG70 setup - Blu-ray Forum

Hey guys, just easing my way into my home theatre setup. And while I am a noob at this and bought a futureshop package deal, I still want to get it set up properly.

So I picked up a 47" LG70 tv with a yamaha HTR6130 5.1 system for ~1700$ Canadian. The guy threw in a 120hertz rated monster HDMI cable. I also bought a PS3 to get some bluray movies going and play littlebigplanet

Now I went and bought a second hdmi cable and an optical audio cable so I can get this set up and return the one I dont use.

Right now I tried doing: PS3 ----(hdmi)---> yamaha HTR6130 DVD input and then output -----(hdmi)-----> TV

When I do this, the video displays just fine on the TV and the sound will come through the TV speakers, but not the sound system

I don't know why it isnt working, and I looked through the manual and couldn't find anything.

I also tried doing optical out from ps3 to reciever, but for whatever reason, it is only coming out in mono through the center speaker, and anyways, I would prefer the hdmi method.

So I guess I am just lost and really don't want to call some futureshop guy to come over. Please help here guys!!

Im thinking you have a "passthrough" system. If at all possible, return it. Or you will have to settle with Optical connection for audio.

In which case, set the PS3 audio output to Optical (bitstream)...and check mark 5.1 dts & dolby
