Thanks everyone. In discussing with Sony tech support it appears I have a defective unit. Whew! It's on the way back for an exchange.

If you haven't output through an analogue cable yet how can you know if it's defective?

i wouldnt go by what tech support says right away! they said i had a defective unit as well but it was actually the tv and not the ps3.

yes you can output audio and video seperate with hdmi and analog. i do it sometimes to test things out but usually just use component/analog or hdmi depending on the situation

I highly doubt your PS3 is defective. Do NOT SEND IT BACK WITHOUT TRYING THIS FIRST:

The PS3 can definitely output video via HDMI while outputting audio via the Multi-AV port analog jacks. I switch to that mode all the time in order to hear 2-channel SACDs at the highest resolution possible via PS3.

I received a Monster PS2 Multi-AV set as a freebie bonus in an Ebay auction, and since the multi-AV plug set is solely for Playstations, it is probably the best multi-AV plug set out there.

You simply need to connect both HDMI directly to the TV and the multi-av plug audio jacks to your receiver. Once those are in place, adjust the audio settings in the PS3 XMB. Make sure you save the settings upon exit, otherwise it won't update.

Yes, yes, yes. I tried everything mentioned here. It won't work. Back it goes.
