Logitech Z-5500 5.1 with PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

azereus · 04-23-2008, 12:34 PM

Anyone using the Z-5500 with their PS3? If so, just wondering how good it sounds?

I know this is not a replacement for an actual receiver/speaker setup, but thought it might be a good idea for my 2nd PS3 which resides in my bedroom.

Thanks

I have not used them with a PS3 before but I have with other divices and the Sound is very good

Sorry if this is totally a noob question, but I have to ask...

This system is only capable of Dobly Digital, DTS etc.

So what happens if I watch a movie where the audio is in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, such as I, Robot?

What would the end result be?

Thanks

Sorry, think i found my own answer in the forums under the Audio secion, first post...

What if I don't have HDMI?

If you don't have and HDMI compatible receiver you can still get surround sound. This can be accomplished in two ways, TOSlink (optical) or Analog (red/white RCA's).

Make sure you set your audio settings to reflect that you are using Optical.
Settings > Sound Settings > Audio Output Settings > Digital Out (Optical)
Settings > BD/DVD Settings > BD/DVD Audio Output Format (Optical Digital) > 'bitstream'

With this selected you will only be able to achieve the traditional "lossy" core tracks from Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 or 2.0 PCM (stereo). If your disc does not list Dolby Digital or DTS alone, have no fear, these tracks are embedded in their lossless counterparts. Choose TrueHD or DTSHD-MA and you will get the core track as long as the settings are as described above.

Funny what happens when you actually look for the answer rather than just posting questions first! :P

Didnt read past first sentecne but you dont listen to HD audio unless you have a reciever with HDMI audio and video.
ALL movies have the DTS and Dobly.

All of them don't have DTS. However, all of the DTS-MA DO have the DTS core, which is possibly what I think you meant. (Just to clarify).
