Well the red and white RCA cables are only used for 2 channels (left and right), this is why only two of them were working. Is there a setting on a menu on how the audio is transmitted (RCA, HDMI, optical)?

You are going to want to look into getting either an OPTICAL CABLE or COAX DIGITAL CABLE. Make sure to find out which of these two cables will work with BOTH the playback unit and the receiver!

the PS3 doesnt have a COAX Digital Output...so you will have to get an Optical cable if you want surround sound.
