How can I get HD-Sound From PS3 to Z-5500 ? - Blu-ray Forum

09-10-2008, 07:33 AM

So basically, my question is the title, I wanna get LPCM sound from my ps3, Yea I've been pulling my hair out when i found out all about the specs of LPCM, and realized its impossible to do this via optical cable to my Z-5500's, but my Z-5500 can take a multi-channel analog inputs, so in short, if I am not mistaken, I need some kind of pre-amp or sound processor that can receive an HDMI signal and output in 5.1/7.1 analog, is there anything out there that can make this possible?

Yes and it is very expensive.

Would be cheaper to buy a stand-alone blu-ray player with analog outputs.

Not very expensive, the Onkyo tx-sr706 can do it.

The cheapest stand-alone that internally decodes both and has analog outputs is Panasonic bd50 for around $500

No, I mean change the HDMI audio to 5.1 analog outs (standalone.) At least that's what I understand.

You would need a new reciever or pre/pro to process the HDMI audio OR a blu-ray player that has analog outs(samsung BD-P-1400 can be had for around $250 online). I don't think I have ever seen a processor that converts HDMI in to analog out.
