ding, ding, ding, you are correct, give this man a prize! Listen to him, this is the correct way to connect your components and you will still have 2 HDMI inputs available for future growth.

best of luck and please keep us posted!

Guys - But what if, HTiB like Sony BDB-T10 has no HDMI inputs. Can you still get HD sound from PS3? How? Thanks in advance

Only if you have a 7.1 analog set of inputs, which I highly doubt you do. Otherwise you will have to use an optical input or digital coax input to get regular DD or DTS. But you pretty much have to go either analog or HDMI.

Get the HTIB Sony Htss-360. I connect it with my PS3 SLIM. I get the full true hd and dtshd sound. It has 3 hdmi inputs and 1 hdmi out.
