[bigbobbarker]

I just bought the above mentioned reciever & have had a PS3 for a while, I bought HDMI cables, so i'm ready to connect it all together. but the problem is

i have my PS3 connected to the reciever throught HDMI, then i have the reciever connected to the Tv by HDMI/DVI cable, I go the "audio settings" in the ps3 I have tried both manual and automatic, when i click auto it says "this HDMI device cannot be used for audio output". but when i turn the TV off i get sound but once i turn it on the sound stops...HELP ME PLEASE!!!

There should be an option to pass the audio through the receiver to the TV as well, you need to turn it off... cannot remember how though, check the 820's manual. This might help.

Just found my manual...

From the "HDMI" section in the receivers menu set the "Audio Out" to "AMP" (not TV+AMP).

Change the "TV+AMP" to "AMP" only.

...although, I have seen many cases of Sony receiver owners having issues with HDMI-DVI cables.

A frend of mine had a similar problem the only way he made it work was to use a optical or coaxial cable...
