I think the last part of your last sentence may not be correct, since if he's connected via Optical, he can't send LPCM since LPCM is only available through HDMI and Multichannel Analog, IIRC.

Otherwise, your advice of setting the PS3 to bitstream and then setting the sound settings to Auto to have it select the modes supported by the receiver sound like they're on track.
