PS3 Settings Question

[Bradders79]

Hi In Relation to the above, I have my ps3 connecting to my sony htsf 1100 via hdmi, the audio and video appears to go through the hdmi(ie when i unplug the digital opitical cable there is no loss of sound)
in the settings i have set to hdmi and automatic, but yet it only choose the 2 linear pcm 2 channels settings to go forward and non of the rest of the massive list including the 5.1 lcm channels, surely it should be tick checking a couple of these aswell for the surround sound, and if not should i be doing this manually instead of using automatic.
please help

youre HTIB is a passthrough system, meaning you will not get multichannel pcm.

Optical cable is your best option and just set it on bitstream.

Hey guys,

I've got 2 problems:

(1) under the "A/V settings icon" on the pull up menu, the option of choosing PCM/Bitstream is gone??? am I smoking something
(2) so I quit out of the movie, and went into "BD/DVD settings" and clicked "bitstream" under "HDMI audio out" (I'm watching DieHard: DTS). When I put the movie back on...my receiver says PCM, not DTS??? WTF??!?!?!

anyone please help!!! THANKS!!
