[Bluray Freak 2009]

Hi I just have two questions

I have a Samsung Led TV Series 8 and I want to connect it to my A/V Receiver it han an output called Audio Out Optical can anybody post a link with the cable I need from monoprice?

I also have a PS3 and some of the Audio Options are greyed out does that mean I need an Optical Cable For The PS3 as well?

Thanks

Let me Google that for you. I keed, I keed

Just because I've done all my business through them: Digital Audio Cables at Blue Jeans Cable

If you have HDMI on your receiver, you should be using that from your PS3 in order to utilize any of the HD sound formats.

How come some of my PS3 Audio Options are greyed out then because I read the thread here and in the photo none were greyed out

Just a word of advice. Usually, the optical output from a TV is just 2.0 audio. It's best to connect the PS3 directly to the receiver, that way you can get the full 5.1 or 7.1 audio signal.

What A/V Receiver do you have?

does that mean its a hardware issue with my receiver because one of the options was not greyed out but it was not checked and when I checked it gave me a warning but the Receiver I have says it supports the ACC codec

From the movie Mr. Mom: You're doing it wrong.

First, what brand/model is your AVR?

Assuming it can accept HDMI, you need to connect your PS3 to your AVR with and HDMI cable, and then run a cable from the AVR to the TV. If your AVR does not accept HDMI, then run HDMI from your PS3 to your TV (for video only), and run digital optical from you PS3 (NOT yout TV) to your AVR. The reason choices are greyed out on the PS3 is because it detects what your TV is capable of receiving (I think that's how it works), and only allows you to feed it those signals. You'll never get HD audio or even lossy 5.1 this way.
