Ok I got about 4 HDMI cables... a Samsung HDTV and a Harmon 5.1 Reciever that supports HD sound.

I cant figure out how to set it up... do I plug a hdmi into the ps3 then to the tv then reciever or what? Any help would be appreciated

I read the FAQS and I STILL cant get it to work.. when it comes to audio I am terrible with it..

PS3 > Receiver > T.V. two cables are all you need....

HDMI out from PS3 into your receivers input. Hdmi out from receivers output to your tv.

It's all (ins) and (outs).

Connect an HDMI cable from PS3 to the receiver and another HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV. If you have speakers, connect the receiver to your speakers with speaker wires.

Ok I got it all plugged in right but im still not getting audio out of the speakers. It says the first 2 speakers are working(L and R are flashing) THe reciever is a Harmon/Kardon AVR 146.

I don't think your receiver decodes hdmi audio. I think it's just passthru. So you will need to hook up a fiber optic cable out from your ps3 to your receiver. Then make sure you go into your ps3's settings and select optical as your audio out.
