...what do you think the best PS3 setting is for this? Linear PCM or Bitstream? Also, why is this setting ("BD/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI)") under the "Video Settings" menu on the PS3? Wouldn't it make more sense under "Sound Settings"? Or am I unclear on something?

Thanks again!

weird, it says it can do PCM playback, and yet has no HDMI inputs. i've read over and over again that the optical/coax inputs don't have the bandwidth to support PCM. not sure how this does PCM.

either way, you'd always need to keep the PS3 on PCM, not Bitstream, as the PS3 can't bitstream DTS-HD and Dolby-HD, but can only send it as PCM to the receiver. however, still not sure how this device handles the PCM properly without HDMI hook up.
