The PS3 and my Onkyo

[crackinhedz]

well, to be honest there will be problems running an optical cable from tv to receiver. (tv will only send 2.0 pcm, and no dts support etc)

so the best solution would be an optical cable directly from PS3 to receiver (set as Bitstream).


even if it means making another trip to the store.

have you checked the manual to see if the audio can decode through HDMI?, seems strange that you can't decode a 7.1 amp with hdmi, coz you can't listen to 7.1 HD sound through a optical it will only carry 5.1 'compressed audio'
