That receiver has 3 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output so you are ok.

Connect like this:

PS3<---HDMI-HDMI cable--->receiver<---HDMI-DVI cable--->tv.

Plug in any other video sources into the receiver and let the receiver do the video switching instead of the tv.

Hope the helps...

Assuming your TV is HDCP-compliant, you can run an HDMI/DVI cable to the TV and get video no problem. I'm assuming that your audio will not be via your TV speakers, since you're describing 7.1. PS3 will decode TrueHD so no problem, there. PS3 may be firmware upgraded in future to decode DTS HD MA, though that's not guaranteed. You do know that the number BD discs with 7.1 audio are fairly limited (for now), yes?

Yes it will work for you with no worrys.

The only thing you won't get RIGHT NOW out of that receiver is the ability to playback DTS HD MA tracks. But, it won't be your receivers fault. Once the PS3 is given DTS HD MA capabilities through a firmware update, then it will all become available to you.
