Default No HDMI, only optical - is this a problem???
Hello, all - not sure if this is the right forum to post in, but I'm hoping someone here can help me out...

I have this receiver:

Yamaha HTR-5960 - Click Here for specs

As you can see, it has no HDMI capabilities, so I have everything hooked up via optical cables...

Using a PS3 for watching Blu-Ray movies, what am I losing out on here by not having HDMI? I have not tried a Blu-Ray disc yet - will it even WORK?...

I should note that I have an HDMI cable going from my PS3 to my TV (for the video portion of it), but then an optical cable going to my receiver (for the audio portion)...

What BD Audio Output setting should I use in the PS3's setup screen? - "Linear PCM" or "Bitstream"?...

Thanks again for any help anyone can offer!...
