Which Receiver
I was originally looking to buy the sony str-g520, however after reading a couple of reviews i'm not to sure if its the best option. I've a got 5.1 speakers already so i'm not bothered about the sound coming through the TV. Does anyone have a ps3 and a receiver with this connection setup and got it working ok:
PS3 - HDMI - Receiver then, Receiver - HDMI - TV Many Thanks |
Re: Which Receiver
with out question if I was in the market for a HDMI based system I would choose this amp

Re: Which Receiver
Good point. Seems little point in that Sony one having HDMI if it's only a pass-through & doesn't actually do anything with the audio!
Re. the Denon one you linked to... Can it handle multi-channel PCM audio over HDMI? [rather than just DD/DTS bitstreams] |
Re: Which Receiver
I am not 100% sure on that trying to find mention of it
I believe you need to do it via multi channel input? the PS3 can decode this was I believe ---------- Post added at 20:57 ---------- Previous post was at 20:52 ---------- yes it does Quote:

Yeah, although the PS3 can output normal DD/DTS 5.1 bitstreams, it can't output Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio - instead it decodes them internally and outputs as LPCM. So if you want 7.1 HD audio from a PS3, you need a receiver which can take multi-channel LPCM over HDMI. |
Re: Which Receiver
after hours of searching i've found this.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270339831827 After reading reviews, it doesn't accept hdmi audio in. For godsake, why are receivers so complicated. I thought it would be simple just to go ps3-Hdmi-Receiver-Hdmi-TV. Upscaling isn't really a problem as i will be getting Sky hd in the future. But i do want the Ps3 to be connected to the tv (video & audio) via the receiver through the use of hdmi. Am i being to picky with this and should settle with a digital optical cable in? |
Re: Which Receiver
dude save up the extra and get a really good bit of kit and not just an ok bit of kit
bare in mind if you use a ps3 as source you can use 6 channel output I believe and with sky you can use optical output so all is not lost audio wise without the hdmi |
Re: Which Receiver
I have this one,

Re: Which Receiver

Re: Which Receiver

Re: Which Receiver
Are you using PS3 - HDMI - Receiver - HDMI - TV?
|
Re: Which Receiver
PS3-HDMI to AMP HDMI-TV, very easy set up.
