[sakbarzad]

ok so i have the 60gig ps3 and i just got my 5300es reciever when i connect my ps3 to my reciever using hdmi it says on the menu of the ps3 "this hdmi device cannot be used for audio output" but it works when i use the left right cables can anyone please help and i connected my ps3 to the other tv and it sent out audio via hdmi but that was with no reciever

did you tell the PS3 to output audio through the hdmi?

Settings - Sound Settings - Audio Output Settings - HDMI


also, in the receiver...HDMI Audio = AMP

Yes i did both and i tried bitstream or lpcm and still nothing... think im gonna exchange it for another one

let me know how it turns out. I just bought a onkyo 705 for my ps3 60 gig.Plus I already have it hooked up to my tv with a hdmi cable. So I am curious to the outcome of your set up, considering I will have to hook mine up soon to.

thanks

it sounds like there could be a mis-step in your receiver hdmi input button configuration.

sorry I cannot help more at the moment im at work.

Hello I have the 705 too with 40 gig ps3 and I have some minor problems when playing a movies it has small pop in the speakers when a blu ray movie starts to play, common for the 605 and 705 have had grounding problem that has hum sound thru the speakers. To get ride of the sound i just had the PS3 hooked up to a different outlet as the 705.
and the sound hum went a way.

The set up was easy and the movie blu ray moview play great but the upconvert movies are not so good. but that is why you have 3 HDMI plugs so you can use unconvert player.

Maybe a good old out dated toshiba A2 or so.

Good luck

Mike
